Unless you have an older laptop model, or you bought a model that was specifically made with creative professionals in mind, there’s a very high chance you don’t have a card reader. Fortunately, you can solve that issue with a mere $9 accessory: Anker’s 2-in-1 USB memory card reader is a must-buy now that it’s 50% off. So cheap, so practical.
While both the USB-C and USB-A versions of this are on sale, I’d go with the USB-C model unless your laptop only has USB-A ports. With USB-C, this thing is pretty much universal—not only can you use it with your laptop, but it also works with your smartphone, allowing you to move pics and videos without relying on cloud services.
Portability is a key focus of this design, as the accessory is super compact and able to fit into your laptop port without crowding out any other peripherals and devices you might have plugged in. It also comes with Anker’s 18-month warranty for peace of mind.
Grab this super-useful USB-C SD/microSD card reader for just $9 before this amazing 50% off deal ends. Again, the USB-A model is also on sale for $9, so grab whichever version suits you best.
