Unfortunately, this device looks pretty, and that's about it. I, like the person above me, get the "Hub as exceeded power requirements" and this was on a full blown PC, not just a laptop. I have a Targus ultra mini hub plugged into the same USB port, and it didn't have any problems.
Targus ACH74US Ultra Mini USB 2.0 4-Port Hub The targus is a much better product.

This seemed like a nice thing to have for hotel rooms and my laptop. Unfortunately it is poorly designed.

Very tricky to remove the covers and to get them back together. In fact, the only documentation that comes with the unit is a series of twenty illustrations for doing just that! There are ten steps "Before use HUB-249" and then ten more steps "After use HUB-249." I'll bet the wire on the plug end breaks after a few attempts to get it back in the case.

When I did plug it into the USB2.0 port on my desktop, everything I tried plugging into it resulted in a "USB Hub Power Exceeded" error message (Windows XP Pro). These were things I use when traveling, like an 8GB flash drive and a portable hard drive.

It does have a small jack on the side that is probably for a power supply, but no supply is included or mentioned in the documentation.

I will be returning this unit.
