Under a thousand: Add ports to your device for not too much The AEC810 is made of reassuringly solid metal and connects to the USB type C port of your device through a wire  Smartphones, tablets and notebooks might be getting more powerful than ever before, but one department where they seem to be in a state of recession is in terms of connectivity ports.
