Amazon: Portronics Mport Mino A USB 3.0 Hub Dock (3-in-1) at ₹179

At a glance

The Portronics Mport Mino A is a compact 3-in-1 USB hub listed on Amazon.in at ₹179, down from a claimed 78% off in the deal listing. The merchant page confirms the ₹179 selling price and shows the item in stock, sold by Clicktech Retail Private Ltd and fulfilled by Amazon. The advertised 78% discount could not be verified because the page did not expose a clear MRP at the time of checking.

Quick facts

Product overview

The Mport Mino A is a small L-shaped USB expansion dock from Portronics. It plugs into a single USB port on a laptop, PC or Mac and breaks it out into three: one USB 3.0 SuperSpeed port for faster transfers and two USB 2.0 ports for peripherals like mice, keyboards and pen drives. The metal alloy body keeps it lightweight but more durable than the usual plastic hubs at this price point, and the right-angle design keeps the plugged-in accessories close to the laptop edge.

Reasons to consider

• At ₹179 it is one of the cheapest branded USB hubs available; even generic unbranded hubs rarely undercut it meaningfully.
• A USB 3.0 port at this price is useful for external drives, where USB 2.0 speeds are a real bottleneck.
• Amazon fulfilment means standard delivery and returns support rather than seller-shipped uncertainty.
• The compact L-shape is genuinely practical for thin laptops that have only one or two ports.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Very low price for a branded 3-port hub
• One USB 3.0 port for faster data transfer
• Metal body, compact form factor
• In stock with Amazon fulfilment

Cons

• Only one USB 3.0 port; the other two are USB 2.0
• Bus-powered, so it will not drive power-hungry devices like some external HDDs reliably
• The headline 78% discount is advertised but the MRP behind it was not visible on the page, so the real saving may be smaller
• L-shaped fixed orientation may not suit every port layout

Buyer fit

This suits anyone who needs a couple of extra USB-A ports for everyday peripherals — a mouse, keyboard, flash drive or phone cable — without spending much. It is less suitable if you need multiple high-speed ports, USB-C connectivity, HDMI output or a powered hub for external hard drives.

Final verdict

At ₹179 this is an easy impulse buy if you need a basic USB hub: the price is confirmed on the product page, the item is in stock, and Portronics is a known Indian accessories brand. Treat the advertised 78% off as a rough indicator rather than a verified saving, and check the port layout suits your laptop before ordering.
