Wrong Title... but can't edit.
I'm in the market for a USB hub. I ran out of USB ports because I bought everything to connect on USB. I was unplugging/plugging devices but lately that kind of made me tired. But is there actually a good USB hub? Or are they all the same... Are people having any problems with theres?

from what i have read, the main differences between hubs is a.) is it a powered hub (people will say you don't need this unless you have a lot of peripherals...i say shell out the extra $$$) and b.) does it have activity lights...you need to SEE if the port/plug is working immediately.
macnn's review area rated a hub recently, i think, at *****, but you'll need to check.
hope that helps...

Heh, you got to this post before I could recommend our reviews, I assume! 
Hubs are generally all the same... I have yet to come accross a "bad" hub.
Having said that, we've actually reviewed a bunch of hubs... check out our <A HREF="http://www.macnn.com/thereview/reviews/index.shtml">complete listing of reviews</A> and scroll down to hardware.
My favorites? XLR8's IceView because it offers the most functonality, TechWorks' PowerHUB because it looks the coolest, and Entrega's 7-port hub because it's a very compact 7-port hub, and they're aren't many 7 port hubs out there.

You might also want to consider the Targus Mobile Mini-Hub, especially if you have an i- or Powerbook. It's really small.

I’m a long time Mac user, owner and secretary of a local Mac User Group (MacMAD). I also work at the local CompUSA and sell Macs and peripherals for them. I use an Belkin 7 port hub and recommend them to my customers without any complaints to date.
