Imagine you’re headed out of town for a weekend getaway. Maybe you’re going to a friend’s destination wedding or a family trip to the beach, or perhaps it’s camping with your friends. You decide to bring your laptop with you because it’ll be nice to stream movies, get some work done, or play a PC game in your downtime. A laptop can help you feel at home when you’re away from home.

You decide to bring your laptop with you because it’ll be nice to stream movies, get some work done, or play a PC game in your downtime. A laptop can help you feel at home when you’re away from home. Oops! When you’re unpacking in your hotel room, you realize that you’ve forgotten to pack your laptop charger (or worse yet, you accidentally leave it in the airport power outlet).

That probably has something to do with the increasing popularity of wireless devices. Nowadays, you aren’t required to connect keyboards, mice, printers, or speakers via USB - you can connect all those devices via Bluetooth. Even flash drives aren’t as popular as they once were because we’re now able to transfer large files via cloud computing. But many PC users are still reliant on extraneous USB connections: creative professionals, business people, contractors, and gamers, just to name a few. These users may have up to four or five USB devices they need to plug into their computer at once (as they say: when it rains, it pours). For these users, a USB port hub may be an invaluable device.

If you’ve ever worked in the retail or service industry, and most of us have put in our dues in one of these two industries, you probably used to daydream about having a computer-based job. How nice it would be!

It would be a cinch!
