But some USB hubs are problematic. I have two by Belkin; one (which
resembles a rectangular donut) works perfectly; the other is not
dependable. Use Google to look for reports on the model you plan to
purchase.

Keep in mind, if you are unsure you can buy in-store, test it out,
return it if required. Bring the laptop in with you to prove it
doesn't work if you want. Generally causing a stink about it will get
you your return (speaking as someone who used to work retail in a
company named after a peice of metal bent in a special shape). If you
can't stand the in-store price, you can return it anyways usually.
