I'm sure it's a great product

(5 out of 5) by Lindsay S. Bradford on Nov 21, 2009
I'm sure it's a great product. I bought it to see if it would fix my usb problem with my laptop and it still didn't work. It's not the products fault, it's my crappy hp pavillion that is now rendered useless.

The return time was great and I got my money back. I love amazon!

Bang for the money

Thanks to Amazon Prime got it in 2 days flat, no-cost shipping. Product works as described, no notable performance penalty, works like a charm. Tested in Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium, Windows 7 32bit Ultimate and Kubuntu 9.10 and no driver installation was needed in any case. Once caveat is ugliness factor - I believe it's possible to make it slimmer and less protruding, but at this price point I take it without any complains.

Clunky

The adapter does what it's supposed to do, but is unwieldy and protrudes almost 2 inches from the side of the laptop.

good enough

both of my usb ports were shot on my laptop. I bought this product to compensate. I have windows Vista, and this product was truly plug and play, no software, hardware, etc. It works great with my camera's, but it struggles with my ipod touch.

USB adapter

(5 out of 5) by teridar on Jun 3, 2009
This product is an excellent option if your computer has limited USB ports and an unused Expresscard slot. It does provide power for devices that don't have a large draw. My phone charges just fine through this USB connection. It also has an AC adapter connection for devices that need more power. The AC adapter is *not* supplied with the product.

The product is somewhat bulky - it sticks out from the edge of my laptop about 2 inches - you will have to remove it to put your computer in a bag - and comes unplugged fairly easily, but if you don't move your computer around a great deal while using it, you should be just fine.
