Satechi Made a USB-C Cable You Can Wear
Satechi has released the OntheGo 67W Slim Wall Charger and the OntheGo USB-C Lanyard Cable for its travel-focused OntheGo Collection. The charger is built for difficult-to-reach wall outlets, and the lanyard is a creative way to keep a charging cable with you. The OntheGo 67W Slim Wall Charger is built for fast charging and easy portability. This sleek charger has two USB-C ports and uses advanced Gallium Nitride technology to deliver high-speed power. It can charge an iPhone 16 up to 58% in just 30 minutes when paired with a compatible USB-C cable. The charger can power two devices at the same time, splitting the output between the two ports at 45W and 20W. If only one device is connected, it can deliver the full 67W for maximum charging speed. This makes it great for charging phones, tablets, and even laptops. The charger has foldable prongs and a slim shape that makes it easy to carry in a pocket or bag or tuck behind furniture. This is what would make getting the lanyard at the same time a good idea, since the lanyard comes with a compatible USB-C cable. As long as you add in the promo code ONTHEGO20, you'll get 20% off until July 21, 2025. Alongside the wall charger is the OntheGo USB-C Lanyard Cable, a handy accessory for people who want hands-free convenience while charging. This product combines a stylish crossbody lanyard with a high-quality USB-C to USB-C cable. The cable supports up to 60W of power and data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps, so users can charge or transfer files just by plugging the lanyard into a power source with no extra cables needed. The lanyard has a soft braided design and can be adjusted to a length of 1.5 meters (about five feet). It works with most closed-bottom phone cases and includes a sturdy aluminum cap to protect the USB-C plugs when not in use. A built-in carabiner keeps the connector secure, making it even easier to use the lanyard hands-free. The lanyard looks completely normal, and you wouldn't know that it hid a USB-C unless you were already aware that was the purpose. It's great for those who don't want to be too flashy, but also want the convenience of a USB-C to USB-C cable on the go. Both the OntheGo 67W Slim Wall Charger and the OntheGo USB-C Lanyard Cable come in Black, Sand, and Desert Rose on the official website. The wall charger costs $60, and the lanyard cable is priced at $30. Remember that, as a special launch offer, you can get 20% off when buying both items together by using the promo code ONTHEGO20 until July 21. Source: Satechi

I gave my Mac mini M4 the ultimate upgrade with this Mac Pro-style case — and it fixes some of my biggest complaints
When it comes to putting together the perfect desk setup for your needs, a little customization can go a long way to making a great product even more useful. Don't get me wrong, the Mac mini M4 is easily one of the best mini PCs you can get today but as I noted in my Mac mini M4 review, it isn't perfect. The upgrade from 8GB to 16GB of unified memory is certainly a welcome change as is its powerful new M4 chip and completely redesigned aluminum case. However, after spending 8 months with the Mac mini M4, my original gripes with the device still ring true today. For starters, the Mac mini M4 doesn't have any USB-A ports whatsoever. Instead, you get two USB-C ports on the front and three Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back. While this is fine if you're using Apple's wireless accessories like a Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse, it isn't ideal if you have older peripherals you'd rather use instead. The Mac mini M4's power button is also in an odd position on the underside of the device. If you leave your computer running 24/7, then this might not be a problem. However, if you like to power your computer down at the end of the day while saving a bit on your electric bill at the same time, it's less than ideal. Finally, the base version of the Mac mini M4 only comes with 256GB of storage. This likely isn't enough for most people and upgrading to a higher storage tier costs $200 each time you do so which makes what is normally a very affordable Mac at $599 less enticing. While there are a lot of different hubs and stands which address the Mac mini M4's biggest downsides like this one from Satechi, I recently tried out Orico's new MiniPro Dock Case. I think I might finally be done customizing my Mac mini for good, especially now that it looks like a mini Mac Pro. This all-aluminum enclosure for your Mac mini M4 or Mac mini M4 Pro gives your mini PC a Mac Pro-style look in a much smaller package. It also adds more ports, gives you the ability to add up to 8TB of additional storage with an M.2 SSD and you can easily reach your Mac mini M4's power button. Just like the Mac mini M4 itself, Orico's MiniPro Dock Case also features an all-aluminum chassis. However, unlike some of the other stands and hubs you can get, this one doesn't go under or on top of Apple's smallest Mac yet. Instead, you literally put your Mac mini M4 inside and close the lid. To prevent scratching and your Mac mini M4 moving around inside it, Orico has outfitted its MiniPro Dock Case with a silicone inner lining that holds the device in place. While the sides of the case have a smooth matte finish, the front and back have those same circular cutouts you'd find on the significantly more expensive Mac Pro. There are also two carrying handles on top and metal feet on the bottom to complete the look. However, you won't find any optional wheels like the ones for the Mac Pro but at $699 for the wheels themselves, you're probably better off without one of Apple's most expensive optional accessories yet. Installing your Mac mini M4 inside Orico's MiniPro Dock Case is as simple as can be. You just push the slider on top to remove its side panel and from there, you just push your Mac mini inside. I like this approach over some of the other hubs I've seen as you get a completely self-contained unit that also keeps your Mac mini M4 safe from scratches. While I haven't tried it yet (nor do I plan to), I bet the MiniPro Dock Case would also protect the computer if it happened to fall off your desk. Orico sells two versions of its MiniPro Dock Case: one with a free slot for an SSD and one with a pre-installed SSD. I decided to check out the former as not only is it cheaper but you can also expand its storage all the way up to 8TB. To access the SSD slot, there's a removable panel on the bottom of the case and you get a pad of thermal paste to put under your SSD to keep it cool once it's installed. Opening the bottom panel and moving my 1TB WD-Black SSD from my Satechi Mac Mini M4 Hub & Stand to Orico's MiniPro Dock Case was a breeze and only took a few minutes. With my Mac mini M4 and SSD both installed, it was time to plug everything back in and take my new faux Mac Pro for a spin. I have to admit that with both the Mac mini M4 on its own and with Satechi's stand and hub underneath it, I was often inclined to tuck this Apple-powered mini PC out of the way. Now with it inside the MiniPro Dock Case, I felt like it deserved to be front and center which is why I put it on the left side of the desk shelf on top of my desk. Not only is it now a conversation piece but with the underside of the Mac mini M4 exposed, the computer is getting a lot more airflow too. Just like with Satechi's stand and hub, the MiniPro Dock case uses a single cable to connect to your Mac mini M4. One nice touch with this case though is that it's a detachable cable instead of a hardwired one like on Satechi's which means you can always replace it later on if you need to. I also like the fact that Orico sprung for a braided white cable as this definitely fits better with Apple's whole aesthetic. Around front, you get easy access to both a microSD and an SD card reader at the very bottom. However, there are also large square and rectangular cutouts that allow you to easily reach the Mac mini M4's front ports. They sit a bit farther back inside the MiniPro Dock but I actually kind of like this as they blend into the case when you don't need them but are easy to reach when you do. Besides its unique look and just how easy it is to add extra storage, the other great thing about the MiniPro Dock case is that the Mac mini M4's power button is much more accessible. On hubs and stands where your Mac mini sits on top, you still have to reach around the back to access it but this way, it's just right there by all the ports at the back. Speaking of rear ports, all of the Mac mini M4's original ones are contained within a similar cutout on the back of the case. However, in addition to these ones, you also get two USB-A ports on either side under them with an extra USB-C port in between. At my Mac desk setup, I'm using one of those USB-A ports for the full-size Satechi SM3 Slim Mechanical Keyboard and the other for a trackball mouse from Logitech. While a lot of people have moved on to using Bluetooth for their peripherals, I still prefer 2.4 GHz wireless USB dongles. The reason for this is that I often move from using one mini PC to another and I just plug one of them in and be ready to go as opposed to having to go through the Bluetooth pairing process each time. It's worth noting though that the Logitech Ergo M575S mouse and Satechi SM3 keyboard I'm currently using at this desk setup both have Bluetooth support too. Satechi SM3 Slim Mechanical Keyboard: $119 at AmazonThis low-profile, full-size mechanical keyboard works with both Mac and Windows and comes in either a light gray/white or dark gray/gray variation. You can connect up to two devices over Bluetooth, use the included 2.4 GHz dongle or connect it to your computer over USB-C. The SM3 also features low-profile brown switches and a rechargeable 2,500 mAh battery. From the Geekom A6 to the Khadas Mind, there are tons of great mini PCs out there for different workflows and desk setups. However, with the Mac mini M4, there are endless accessories that allow you to customize the look and experience of using Apple's mini PC. While you can get a similarly-specced, Windows-based mini PC for the same price or even cheaper, you're losing out on the ability to customize it after the fact. Whether you want a hub with more ports, a stand or even an under-desk mount, the possibilities are almost endless. They're not just for looks either as you can see with Orico's MiniPro Dock Case and Satechi's Mac mini M4 Hub & Stand since they both allow you to add additional storage without having to pay the Apple tax to do so. Whatever option you decide to go with, you always have the freedom to change things up later while bringing over any extra storage you added. As for me, I plan on keeping my Mac mini M4 in this MiniPro Dock Case for the foreseeable future as not only do I love its unique look but with the computer now standing up vertically, it helps free up even more space on my desk.

My favorite product releases this week: Anker, Pokémon, Satechi and more
Amazon Prime Day has come to a close and the dust has settled on our round-the-clock coverage. After taking some time to recharge, I am back to spend Friday morning like I always do; checking in on all of this week's most exciting product launches. This week brings the launch of Anker's latest desktop charging station, a new expansion to the Pokémon trading card game and a versatile smartphone lanyard from Satechi. Seven ways to refuel your desktop Anker has released a new charging station this week, and it includes one of my favorite features on any piece of tech that has come out this year. I've been singing the praises of this Anker Laptop Power Bank since it launched back at CES 2025 and have been using it every single day since it arrived. Aside from its massive battery and fast-charging features, the thing I love the most is its retractable USB-C cable, which is now being brought over to a stationary desktop charger. The new Anker Nano Charging Station features a 7-in-1 design that offers seven ways to refuel smartphones, earbuds and tablets, as well as power your desktop computer and other accessories. There are three full AC outlets on the back, and then two built-in retractable cables on either side for quickly accessing 2.3 feet of Anker's InstaCord charging tech. To fully take advantage of its 100W charging specs, there's also standard USB-C and USB-C ports on the side to round out the power capabilities. I'll be testing this one out for myself in the near future. But if the impressive specs are already enough to convince you it's worth a spot on your desk, Amazon has the Nano Charging Station available for $90. The newest expansion to the trading card game is here Prev Next The next batch of new Pokémon trading cards are out this week with another departure from the usual expansion sets. Black Bolt and White Flare live up to their namesakes and come filled with the full roster of characters from the franchise's fifth generation games, Black and White. I've never been the biggest fan of these Pokémon's time in the fictional Unova region, but the cards this time around have such cool artwork that I am actually starting to see the appeal. There's more than a few cards I'll be aiming to add to my collection, some of which I already opened for myself. Chasing after certain cards is all well and good, but it seems like you'll actually be able to buy them this time. Supply for this new expansion seems to be higher than normal, and the pull rates for cards is definitely improved over the last set I opened. Packs are beginning to trickle out today, with Amazon listings starting at under $40. Everyone is thinking Miku these days Prev Next If you don't know who Hatsune Miku is, ask your kids — they'll know. If you don't have kids around the house, she is a digital pop star who has been serenading listeners with her unique techno tunes for nearly 20 years. The virtual idol has been popping up in more and more places lately, jumping from topping music charts to dominating video game lobbies in hit titles like Fortnite. Miku is no stranger to gaming, after all, with consistent stints across rhythm games for over a decade. But now Asus is channeling her signature turquoise color scheme for a lineup of PC gaming accessories. The new lineup includes just about everything you need to outfit a battlestation, including a keyboard, mouse, headset and other accessories. I've been putting them to the test this past week. The combo of TUF Gaming K3 Gen II Keyboard and Mini Gaming Mouse hasn't done much to overcome my lackluster performance in Fortnite, but at least now I am doing it in style. I love the execution from Asus, especially on the keyboard with its custom key caps. The Asus Hatsune Miku collection is now available for purchase at retailers like Amazon and starts from $25. This crossbody lanyard is also a charging cable I am a sucker for a novel charging cable, especially one I can always have on me. Nomad's key-bound cable hasn't left my keychain since I started using it earlier in the year, but I've found myself wishing I had a longer cord on me at all times. Enter the newest release from Satechi, which is here to solve my problem. I first covered Satechi's OnTheGo series back when it was revealed at CES 2025. After shipping the products from that first wave of reveals, the brand is back with some entirely new charging accessories — my favorite of which is this new USB-C Lanyard Cable. These smartphone lanyards have been gaining popularity as an alternative to storing your iPhone in your pants pockets, offering the same kind of access that a camera strap provides. This Crossbody Lanyard from Satechi brings extra functionality into the mix by doubling as a charging cable. I've been trying it out and am wowed by how good the build quality is. Throw in the 60W charging tech and 480Mbps transfer speeds and this is as versatile of a cable as it gets. The $30 price tag is more than justified if you find yourself in search of smartphone lanyard. Kong hits the big leagues with open-world destruction My colleagues have been hard at work covering the Nintendo Switch 2's launch this year, meaning I've been able to sit back and enjoy the console as a fan. Still, the itch to write about my love of this new hybrid gaming machine has been growing, and this week's launch of Donkey Kong Bananza is giving me just the opportunity. The Switch 2 launched with practically only one major title; Mario Kart World. As great of a game as it is, Nintendo fans have been waiting for another first-party game to hit the console to help justify its steep price tag. In fact, our own tech editor Mike Andronico noted as much in his review of the console. But now, the game is finally here. I'll be diving in this weekend to see what all the excitement is and if it was worth the wait, but if all the buzz online is any indication, the team who made Super Mario Odyssey has reunited for yet another console-defining game. If you've been out of the loop, Bananza throws Donkey Kong into the spotlight with his first new game in over a decade. This underground exploration game has players smashing through an open-world environment to complete objectives, battle enemies and collecting in-game items. The destructible environments look like the perfect opportunity to show off the Switch 2's improved hardware, not to mention Donkey Kong's new and improved look — two things I'm excited to experience while I play this weekend. If you'd like to join me on your own Switch 2, Donkey Kong Bananza is now available for purchase for $70 at Amazon.
