USB Hub

Since there is a lack of USB slots on the Sager 5792 and I am sick of changing out my USB connected devices, I was wondering... Can you guys help me pick out a USB hub? I want a good one...Price range up to $50 but ill take a look at ones more expensive for reference.


Portability is a plus, i'd rather have it powered from the laptop than have a external power supply.. thanks.

Thanks folks.

 

Just goto any store and pick any USB 2.0 hub you like and find feasible. It's not a performance peripheral... they're all the same. I have a cheap one, but my friend's got a nice Logitech one... no difference, just better looking!

 

Any suggestions for brands I mean and such? What about portability ect... Any suggestions from newegg?

 

Pick a price and color-- USB hubs are one of those things that just work no matter what brand.

 

alright its betwen these 3.... you decide.

Get the one on buy.com-- 7 ports for $20 is pretty good.

 

right then thanks!

 

i got one for free a couple black fridays ago

 

whats a black friday? How do I get one?

 

Black friday is the day after thanksgiving (I'm assuming you don't live in the US?) where everyone lines up outside stores in the middle of the night to get amazing deals on everything. It's sort of a Christmas shopping opening day.

 

No I live in MA. Never heard of it before though wierd, or maybe I have and I just dont shop that much to care... wierder.

 

actually quick question? how does this plug into the laptop? It looks like it has a USB to Firewire connection or something (the firewire goes into the laptop) but I dont see a firewire port on my laptop?

thanks in advance.

 

I'm pretty sure the usb hub connects to one of your existing laptop usb ports.
