Computer Reviews

I have one of these connected to a Power Mac MDD 867 and it works fine. Like the first reviewer, I used double-sided foam tape to secure the hub to my desk. Connected to it and working fine are a Lexmark printer, Canon scanner (bus-powered), Griffin iMic, Wacom Graphire tablet, Clie dock, Plantronics USB headset, and a Logitech MX710 mouse.

I use USB a lot - I have a variety of devices that use it to communicae with computers, and the couple of sockets that most machines have has long since become inadequate for what I do. At present, I have two Belkin 7-port USB hubs and one 4-port model on various computers around my house and business. They are simple, unassuming, and loyally perform their work with a minimum of trouble. I've tried other hubs, but the Belkins have been by far the most reliable.

This is a plug it in then plug other things into it technology. The only thing you can do wrong is man-handle the connections hard enough to break something. And the Belkin sockets are plenty tough. It comes with it's own power supply which is more than adequate to support devices that draw their energy from the USB connection.

My only gripe is a typical one of all USB hubs - the box isn't heavy enough to overcome the pull of the USB wires. Of course, making it so would significantly effect the price of a very affordable device. This really is only an issue if you have to keep plugging and unpluging things. I gave up and grabbed a roll of double sided tape - end of problem.

This firewire cable is simply great. Not much more you can say about a cable is there!

I needed an additional cable for my ipod. This one works like a charm, and was one of the cheapest I could find. Well constructed and long enough to reach from my floor CPU up to the top of the desk.

I got a good deal at Amazon.com, With free shipping it makes it worthwhile. The Same Cable is thirty bucks in the retail store. It looks very sturdy and doesnt flop around. It has a cool translucent look. It is braided. The contacts are of solid quality.

...This is a very good quality cable. It has a very nice fell to it. The braided sleeve gies it a "stay" not seen with the rubber sleeve cables.
I do not see the logic in spending a lot of money on cables. There are cheaper ones on Amazon.com, but ony this was eligible for the free shipping. I was familiar with how it looked since I had shopped for it in the retail store. With the free shipping (& no taxes) this is an excellent deal.

With all the toys to add on to your computer, it's just a matter of time before you run out of USB ports. This hub is simple to install - just plug it in!

This USB Hub simply rocks. It allows 4 more USB devices which i use all the time.

I purchased this for a laptop running Windows 2000. The laptop has only 1 USB port. I plugged it into the port and attached my mouse and my flash drive and both instantly worked flawlessly.

I also liked that the package includes a power adapter but the included manual (more about that in a moment) explains that you don't need the power adapter for low-power-use devices such as mice. The design is a bit peculiar but it also includes two additional easy-swappable covers so you can change from silver to gray to black.

The manual (a 36-page booklet) includes information in 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, and Portugese). The English section was written by someone with a good grasp of English (unlike many manuals lately that have very peculiar translations). It includes clear diagrams and explanations (not that I really think anyone would really need this, but nonetheless, the manual was a nice feature.)

I've always liked Belkin products and once again, I am very pleased.

This is the only USB hub I've ever used (purchased around New Year's 2002), and I have no intention of finding a new one. (I have a P3-500 laptop and a docking station with 2 USB ports. I put my printer into one port, and the USB hub in the other; in the hub, I currently have a 3.5" floppy drive, a mouse, and a webcam.) While I have no idea what other hubs do better or worse, I can offer a few isolated observations about the Belkin.

* The unit is reliable; every once in a while my laptop will flake out and not recognize some or all of the devices in the hub -- if I unplug the hub and plug it back in, it clears right up.

* It's self-powered, so it doesn't draw power from the computer itself. That may not be a big deal to a desktop user, but if you have a laptop, my guess is you'll want it to get its own power. I guess if you have a presentation or something, you can bring it a long and plug in a pointer, a disk drive, or whatever other technological pyrotechnics you've dreamed up. (If you're merely working away from the desk, you will, of course, want to leave the Belkin behind and not play tech-wizard in public.) If, on the other hand, you have a desktop, you just unplug the hub's power cord and flip a switch from "BUS" to "SELF," and you don't have to screw with the extra cord.

* Moving on, it's laid out kind of strange. The cord to the CPU goes in one end of the rectangular body, and four outlets come out the other. I bet it's great if your USB port faces you from about two feet away (?), but I don't have a lot of room between my docking station and the wall, so it ends up very inelegantly laying on top of the other cables.

* It has LEDs to let you know that your ports are powered. I suppose this is a dummy check measure if you happen to have your USB hub hooked up to a different power supply; I rarely see the thing, so I don't care about the lights.

All in all, I've had no frustrations at all with the Belkin; since that's about the most you could ever ask from a piece of electronics, it gets a big thumbs up.

It comes with a car adapter, as well as just being a USB adapter.

And for such a low price, you can't go wrong.

This product lets you charge your Clie T-Series using only the USB interface. No more cradles or cumbersome charges to carry when traveling. A plus: mine came with a car adapter, not mentioned in the product description.

I've been using this case for about four months, and am quite happy with it. The case covers the cellphone cleanly and snugly and allows full use of all features (including charging port and earphone jack) without removing the case. There is a clear window for the front display, while the sleeve on the top part of the flip up slides up to reveal the inside display screen. The case snaps on to a sturdy rotating belt clip, giving easy access to the phone. The clip also works well attached to a belt pack, pocket or waistband.

I have always HATED cell phone cases - of any kind. I think they just look idiotic, although I am always scratching & dinging my cell phones. Hence, I realize the value of having one.

I am a converted woman. This Cellsuit is really stylish & comes with a stationary belt/wherever clip. The most exciting accessory I've received!!

I brout home 3 different brand of speakers home. The bose 601 were far supperior. The sound was everwhere in the room, just as clear and crisp as any speaker I have other heard. Truely a work of art.

Wonderful room filling speakers. The sound you hear with these speakers is the way sound was meant to be. Everytime I turn these speakers on I am in utter amazement and love to crank it up! People that complain about this wonderful company are either deaf (probably from cheap bassy products) or do not know how to operate a simple stereo system. I have yet to be disappointed in a Bose product. They are worth the extra money.

This Bose system costs three or four times as much as other competing systems. I used the word competing because other systems are in no way comparable. The sound quality from this sytem is simply unbelievable. If you buy these speakers, you will be moe than satisfied with them.

I dn know what some guys are looking. This system is man just incredible. What you want is quality sound and save space. This is what this system has. I know this much that this system scares my neighbours with terible sound effects. It has both high quality sound and high sound. Price is bit high. Well you need to scracth your pocket a bit to hear it. :)

This is it, the Bose living room system we've been waiting for. It plays all DVD formats and has that incredible Bose sound. We LOVE it!
