Real USB2.0 hub!

Pros:

It is USB2.0 at the price of USB1.1 only hubs. This is a big advantage. It is also quite compact and buil quality is adequate (not excellent). The led indication is nice feature.

Cons:

I wish the plastic wrapping was much smaller - making it more compact than it is now.

Other Thoughts:

I don't care about throughput because any hub will afect troughput - so devices that are sensitive to it should be connected directly to USB2.0 port of the PC. Same for power - it is enough to power low power devices like USB skype phone (acting as a repeater) and a disk on key - I would not challenge it more.

Bottomline:

Very good value for money.

Pros:

Lightweight, works immediately, extremely simple to use. Dirt Cheap, a tenth of what you'd expect to pay retail. Good size and shape for use with a laptop or notebook of any size.

Cons:

Sort of bland look - there are some hubs on dealextreme with funky looks and designs, whereas is this just plain black. Only 4 ports, but you get what you pay for.

Other Thoughts:

For some people, 4 ports may not be enough, and you need to remember that because it uses one port on your computer itself, you're only gaining 3 more, not 4 more.

Bottomline:

Works really well, extremely helpful if you need more USB ports. If you need a cheap, lightweight USB hub, this is perfect. Definitely worth buying. 2 thumbs up!

Simple and to the point

Pros:

This hub meets all of the qualifications listed in its description. It is small and works correctly. It is recognized as a generic usb hub by vista. I checked all the ports individually, and they all worked. I'm not sure about when all ports are connected at once.
The price cannot be beat.

Cons:

"Plastic feels cheap" I've heard this around DX all the time. What exactly is different about the feel of cheap plastic to non-cheap plastic?
This hub has 2.0 printed on the top of it, which it is, it connects to a 2.0 port, although it doesn't reach maximum speeds (as reported by Vista)

Other Thoughts:

I plan on putting this hub inside a usb mouse, with a thumb drive attached on the inside as well. This hub is perfect for modders such as myself.

Bottomline:

It is what it is. If you are looking for a hub, thats what this is. It is what you pay for.
