I've been using the USB hub that I bought last week on an older laptop... one that had only a single USB port. It's a low power hub because there's no port for a 5v adapter and there's only one source USB plug. So I decided to stress test it by plugging in 4 devices. To my surprise, it was able to take it. I had a mouse, 2 flash drives and a game controller connected. All devices worked fine and had full performance. The retractable cord is very convenient and neat. It's perfect for any laptop because it can be easily packed without fumbling around with cords. It's still available this week for $9.99 @ Radio Shack.
