Currently I have a label printer and separate mobile scanner which connect to my Mac Mini each with its own USB-A cable.
I have a new 15” MacBook Air that’s going to be delivered in the next couple days and I need to connect these two items to it. My first thought was that I would need to get a USB hub that will connect to the USB-C on the MacBook Air and allow me to plug in my two USB-B peripherals.
But now I’m wondering if there’s any way to do this wirelessly, if there’s a hub that could connect to my laptop without using a cord in order to connect these legacy peripherals? That would be nice so that I’m not bound to the desk anymore, since this is a laptop after all.
If that doesn’t exist, then is there a hub that will connect those two peripherals but also charge the MacBook Air thru the USB-C connection? It just seems redundant if I have to plug a USB-C cable into the laptop and also a MagSafe power adapter.
