This usb hub provides excellent value. It provides additional usb 3.0 ports, and they are far enough apart to permit use of all 4 of them at the same time. Although the cord is somewhat short, it is fine for use with laptops. It is also sturdy enough to be used in a hanging position with my pc tower. It looks and feels well made.

I would recommend this to a friend!

This briefcase is an excellent fit for my new ASUS Strix 16" gaming laptop. This laptop is considerably thicker than an ordinary 16" laptop, yet it fits comfortably into one of the main pockets of this case. It is also afforded good padding by the case. When closed up with the laptop inside, the case is a good thickness, again illustrating its padding. There is a large exterior pocket that can easily hold a mouse, a large wattage usb c charger, and an external ssd drive. The handles of the case are sturdy and comfortable to hold. There is a shoulder strap provided with the bag. I was able to get this briefcase with a considerable discount, making it an excellent buy. I highly recommend this briefcase!

Can I add an external hard drive for more storage????

Top 100 Contributor

There are two very fast ports on this laptop that you can attach an external drive to. One option that is very convenient is to add a tiny button drive, often called a FIT drive. These extend only a tiny amount from the laptop, and can remain attached even in a sleeve or a case. Here is a link to such a drive that is very economical:

You could add an external solid state drive. If you get one of the newer ones that use an NVMe, and connect it to the Super Speed usb-c port, you could get speeds as high as 1000MB/s for both read and write.
