Summary: Great!!!
Review: After Looking and searching for quite a while, I think this hub is what I need. It doesn't need a power supply. My webcam which gets its power from the PC , works great. all the other devices that use USB work great too. As all the reviews said, the blue lights are cool especially in the dark. This hub is small but works as it should. I would recommend it to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simplicity at the Hub
Review: Easy to hook up. Easy to use. Cool to look at.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely COOL!
Review: I am totally loving this little thing! Very slick design with those blue lights and the ability to put 4 different USB devices all into one super-mini hub. A must have for this price...

Summary: Does exactly what it is supposed to, at a good price
Review: I chose this just because I wanted something cheap. I have heard bad things about some other brands overheating or having various problems, but I have been using this a few months and found no problems whatsoever.

It remains room temperature and has had no bandwidth or power problems for me. It appears to have a place to connect a power supply (not included), but that doesn't seem to be listed as a feature so I cannot guarantee it. It has two USB plugs so you can get the power from a second USB port if you need it. I have only needed one. My only complaint with the device is having that extra plug sitting around (attached to the cord), but of course that isn't a problem if you use it.

It's cheap and it works, so I recommend this item.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Blue LEDs cool, but also fragile.
Review: I have two of these hubs on two different machines, and they have both performed flawlessly with a wide variety of USB devices. Buy with confidence. On the other hand, two out of the eight blue LEDs have perished - though this had no effect on the real function. Everything considered, good value for the small price.

Summary: great product!
Review: I just bought this hub and it is amazing! When it is connected to a computer that is turned on, it lights up and it looks awesome. Plus, it actually works, unlike some of the other brands. The only bad thing about it, which only some people care about, is that it doesn't come with a plug. It still lights up without it, so I don't know why they even added a port to this great product from Targus.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SImple as can be!
Review: I just got this item after reading just some of the confusing reviews and other positive ones.

It was inexpensive and worth the buy.

Upon getting it I unplugged by Logitech webcam and plugged in the targus. I then plugged in mouse, digi camer and webcam and it worked as smooth as silk. It is most recommended!

Works great!!

Summary: It works perfectly!
Review: I love this product!
I read the reviews of all the hubs and was confused about what would work and what wouldn't and "powered" vrs "un-powered"...
So I decided to buy a cheap, un-powered hub and see if it worked and go from there.
It works perfectly!
I have a 2-yr old PC running Windows 98 second edition.
I only have two USB ports and was ready to buy a new PC just to get more ports since every peripheral nowadays uses USB.
A friend told me about USB hubs--essentially an extension cord for your USB ports.
I plugged-in the Targus (the blue lights are cool), and plugged into the Targus the following--internet cable modem, scanner, DVD burner, and MP3 player. I rebooted (probably not necessary, but it never hurts), and everything is totally cool.
Now, I'll get another year out of this PC before I upgrade and I WILL keep the Targus hub--it saved Christmas!

Summary: Very nice
Review: I plugged this into my Windows XP system and it just worked. It's very small and very light, and as one of the previous reviewers noted, it *does* have set a very cool-looking blue LED light over each port. A good value for the money so far.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great little hub
Review: I use this hub with my laptop that I rarely transport (although this hub is definitely small enough for easy travel). Each port has cool blue lights surrounding them that turn on when the computer is powered up. This might be an issue for those that do a lot of traveling and require maximum battery conservation, but since I rarely rely on battery power alone, this isn't a problem for me. Even when I do run off my battery, battery life is not shortened by much (maybe 20-25 min). Great product for a great price. Recommended!
