This restrictive number of ports really isn&#8217;t great in our current USB-saturated landscape. If you use a USB keyboard and mouse, you don&#8217;t have any spare ports to charge devices, hook up an external hard drive, or connect a printer.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this may be fine depending on what you do with your laptop. If you&#8217;re always on the move and you don&#8217;t need a mouse or a keyboard, you won&#8217;t have this problem. Maybe you&#8217;ll just need to charge your iPad and use an external hard drive or a two-factor authentication key.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you use a laptop as your primary computer, or regularly do more than just sending emails and writing while you travel, a small USB hub might be a really useful tool.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"you-want-to-charge-a-multitude-of-devices-on-one-port\">You Want to Charge a Multitude of Devices on One Port<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A USB hub is great for charging a number of different devices at once. While unpowered USB hubs need to be plugged into your computer to do that, powered hubs instead use the mains. This lets you charge as many devices as you like, regardless of if your computer is on or not.<\/p>\n<p>USB hubs are the perfect companion for someone with lots of power-hungry USB devices. From phones to tablets to desk gadgets, a USB hub can meet the needs of any gadget that needs USB power. It&#8217;s also convenient that you don&#8217;t need to hunt for a spare mains plug; just plug everything into the same hub.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"you-want-to-move-a-lot-of-data-between-usb-devices\">You Want to Move a Lot of Data Between USB Devices<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is one of the rarer kinds of USB hub uses, but it&#8217;s still very valid. If you find yourself in the situation of needing to move a lot of data between a bunch of different devices, a USB hub can be very useful.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to back up photos from your computer,\u00a0tether your mobile phone to use cellular data on your PC, download images from your camera, print some documents, and upload music to your iPad, a high-quality USB hub can help you do all of that at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Again, this admittedly isn&#8217;t\u00a0a common\u00a0situation for most people, and it would only warrant a USB hub if it happens on a regular basis. However, if you do find yourself moving data like this a lot,\u00a0investing in a USB hub is going to make your life easier.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do you need a USB Hub You Want to Increase the Number of USB Ports on a Laptop While there are some laptops out there that come with a bunch of USB ports, many only have two.
