I wanted it for my Macbook which has only 2 USB ports; one of which I use for my mouse. Left with only one port, I needed a hub. This one works seamlessly and its compact size makes it very convenient. Didn’t have to deal with coiling long leads which messes up the desk.On the flip side, all are Type A ports which is a bit of a disappointment. Using adapters for other types of USB plugs. Giving 5 stars since it’s a good buy overall.
