I love my USB Hub - arn't I sad!

Advantages: It works - extra power boost and plug and play!
Disadvantages: Not suitable for seriously high drain usb connectivity

OK, so I admit it, i'm a geek, happy now? Right, so my laptop recently decided that one of it's USB ports wouldn't work, so it gave up, completely and since most of my gadgets are USB connections I had big trouble. With only 2 USB2 ports I had to keep taking things out and putting them back in again, my external keyboard had a fit every time I plugged it back in again and all sorts of curse words came out of my mouth. Then along came this little ...
...they have no power and so multiple plug ins are being powered from the single laptop USB port and this slows things down. Well the power through this little device sorts that out immediately. It has 7 ports, and as long as you are clever and keep devices not in use turned off it minimises any problems, I currently have four working off mine, a keyboard, mouse, printer and iPod speaker unit. This unit is tiny and light, easily stow-away-able so it ...

Review of Trust 7 Port USB2 Powered Hub HU-5770 UK - hub - 7 ports

A tiny item that provides a big service

Advantages: Small, light, easy to use, fantastic value for money
Disadvantages: None found

...jove there it was! The Trust logo section on the top lights up orange to show it's working, and it was instantly recognised by my Windows XP laptop. We were away! It now sits quite happily with my printer, mouse and modem all plugged in, and I was surprised to find it doesn't actually run that hot, considering the amazingly high speed it works at. It's ideal for laptop users who travel about as it's so tiny and lightweight you can slip it in your ...
...Every port has a good solid connection, not sloppy, and it hasn't once given me any reason to question it's reliability, although it does come with a guarantee should the worst happen. Overall, for the small amount of outlay, this is a superb piece of kit and I would highly recommend it. ...

Review of Trust HU-3340m 4 Port Mini USB 2.0 Design Hub - hub - 4 ports

Trust EasyConnect: Difficult to Fault...

Advantages: Good price, nice appearance, does the job!
Disadvantages: Slight stability issue

...when I came across the Trust EasyConnect. Price ----------- Whilst it was obvious to me that the Trust EasyConnect was significantly more than the very cheap (but useless) USB hubs, I still felt it offered excellent value for money as it was from a manufacturer I had actually heard of and seemed to be of a good quality. I paid £9.49 for it which I felt was a fair price especially when compared to some of the top of the range products. The general ...
...way I can fault the Trust EasyConnect is that once USB devices are connected, because of the angle at which the ports were placed on the product (most likely down to its shape), meant it did not balance on its base and instead leant to one side slightly. However this is evidently not something that Trust did not think off as included in the box was a Velcro sticker. However, the tilt really does not bother me, and also, who would want to commit to ...

Review of Trust EasyConnect 4 Port USB2 Powered Hub HU-5440 - hub - 4 ports

Easyconnect 4 Port USB

Advantages: Works straight out of the box, Easily Portable
Disadvantages: Short connection cable, Only gives you 3 more ports

I bought this Hub for my Dell Laptop around a month ago now. It is a good product, and was particuarly easy to install. It works straight out of the box and the computer installs the drivers for you, so there is no need to install any extra software. I dont receive any noticable performance drop of something that is connected through the HUB, although my Wireless mouse which uses a USB connection is for some reason not recognized when used through ...
...although I have had no problems with it so far (It is a Logitech v500 Cordless mouse). I would recommend the product for someone who is running out of USB ports on a Laptop computer, although I think there are better products out there if portability is not a factor (ie a Desktop computer). Another point worthy of note is that it has a very short cable, which could be problematic if your USB ports are not very accessible. ...

Review of Trust EasyConnect 4 Port USB2 Mini Hub HU-4440p - hub - 4 ports

NETGEAR 54G MODEM, AN AVERAGE PIECE OF EQUIMPENT

Advantages: STYLISH AND EXTREMELY EASY TO SET UP!
Disadvantages: COMES WITH RUBBISH DOWNLOAD SPEEDS!

After having purchased four previous netgear routers i am still impressed with the seemless effort in which netgear have made there configurations. I believe after extensive searches this is a very good price for this bit of kit, some may say i am crazy but i have ADSL and DSL in my home and using two different wireless routers have found no problems yet. WGR614 highly recommended for the user of cable broadband and wanting to go wireless or use ...
...THE PRODUCT: Signal strenth is very good! VERY SMALL! fits in a little chest of draws in my hall nicely LOOKS VERY STYLISH! BAD THINGS ABOUT THE PRODUCT: You get a TERRIBLE download speed with it! WHERE CAN YOU BUY IT FROM? You can buy it from shops like curry's and dixons Or you can buy it on the internet Amazon would be a good place. THE PRICE: Its about £65 Overall this is a really good piece of equipment its very easy to setup, but the download ...
