I've got an old IBM laptop which only has two slow USB ports - have just connected this up and it's fast! plus can cope with my external hard drive which none of the other usb hubs i've used has coped with - of course that's where the extra power supply makes the difference. Brilliant it works and it's not a hassle to disconnect when i want to use the laptop on the tv! Recommended! Plus the $[...] rebate makes it even more worthwhile ta! :-)

everyone should understand that this is the one and only USB hub anyone should buy. why?? because it is the only one (ok, at least that I know of) that provides as much power to all 7 outlets as your computer will. this in contrast to EVERY other hub (again, to my not-very-limited knowledge). every other hub will disappoint, either on speed or lack of power.

Pros - Looks good and works well, very solid construction. - Ports spaced out well. - No annoying lights. - Self powered, but comes with AC. So far have not had to use it. Powers a few flash drives, keyboard, mouse, iPod w/o AC. Cons - Power brick is huge. - The aluminum casing could be better polished. - No rubber feet, the hub slides on the desk and may leave scratches. I'd prefer 4 ports on back and 3 on front, or at least 1 on top, but it will do.
