If you’re a gadget lover, and something tells me you are, you know the problem of too few USB ports. Computers simply don’t come with enough of them, so you find yourself unplugging devices throughout the day so that you can plug something else in. What you need is a USB hub, and LaCie has just introduced two new well-designed ones. Both work on Windows or Macintosh computers.
The LacCie Core7, pictured above, offers six USB ports and a built-in mini-USB cable for connecting many cell phones and other devices. I love that LaCie is recognizing the popularity of the mini-USB plug. This is great for people who don’t want to carry around a phone cable. One USB port is on top of the hub for quick Flash-drive access, while the others are in channels on the sides. You can get one for $19.99.
The second offering is the even more compact LaCie Core4, a portable hub that includes three standard USB ports and one mini-USB cable. It comes in orange or blue and sells for a low $9.99.
