Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I finally got a new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I'm now looking at getting a USB 3.0 hub with a power adapter so I can use both of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I've read lots of horror stories where some hubs either don't come with power adapters -- and as a consequence the portable drives don't work with them properly -- or they are designed poorly which results in USB 2.0 speeds. Or, the hard drives keep getting disconnected. Do your readers have any suggestions or experience using USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks!"
So much angst, it's funny.
Vincent: "You honestly tell me that you will carry this hunk of device in addition to a laptop? I don't think so."
Of course not, but for those of us who have been relying on a PDA plus bluetooth keyboard for awhile on long trips, a larger display and keyboard are welcome. I wouldn't carry it in addition to a laptop...I will carry it instead of a laptop. It's smaller, lighter, and has longer battery life than many laptops.
I always figured $200 is where it should have been priced initially. I think it's a really interesting idea for a product, useful for people who aren't always in an office but don't need a laptop (I'm squarely in that segment). Looking forward to receiving my order, Celio.
