Time to boost your workflow without spending a fortune, these three tools are a no-brainer. I’ve personally used each one, and they’ve all earned a permanent spot in my setup. Best part? They’re all under $30.
1. Anker 5-in-1 USB-C Hub – $25
This compact USB-C hub turns one port into five: HDMI, SD card reader, microSD, and two USB-A ports. I use this daily to connect to external monitors and access storage devices. It’s fast, reliable, and super lightweight.
If you’re working off a MacBook or any USB-C laptop, this is essential.
2. OMOTON Bluetooth Keyboard – $23
A slim, wireless keyboard that feels way more premium than the price tag. It connects quickly, types quietly, and takes up almost no desk space. Great for minimal setups, tablets, or even as a backup keyboard.
Battery life is insane — mine lasted months on two AAA batteries.
3. UGREEN Laptop Stand – $18
This stand props up your laptop at a better viewing angle and saves space underneath. I also use it to “dock” my laptop and anchor the Anker USB-C hub. It’s sturdy, and fits easily in a bag.
Final Thoughts
If you’re building a lean, functional setup, these tools deliver major value without breaking the bank. I’ll keep sharing these kinds of finds, so stay tuned — and if you have your own under-$30 MVP, shoot it my way.
