Another great product from Belkin. I have used it when traveling with my laptop to hook up extra equipment. I have used it at home with my desktop for some added USB-2 level ports. It is great as it is very small and can fit in a shirt pocket, backpack, shoulder bag or purse. It provides you with 4 ports, high speed transfer rates and it is plug and play so NO SOFTWARE required which is always a good thing.

I need a powered USB hub. I run several high power draws: a cooling plate and USB powered hard drives. This is the only one I could find that actually told me how much power it gaves each outlet, 500m amps. The 2 vertical ports are handy for quickly plugging in flash drives.
Belkin is a trusted name too for me, alot of their products are really friendly to the Apple world. I really felt comfortable buying this. So far it works great, I love the fact that it has the 7 ports and that everything is neatly organized. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to add more ports to their laptop/desktop.

The award-winning, patented iLap is a versatile stand that lets you use a laptop comfortably on your lap or on a desk. As a lap stand, the iLap keeps you cool by shielding your body from the laptop’s heat, and it does so comfortably with its two velvet cushions. The front cushion supports your wrist while you type and the back swivel base contours to your lap.
The iLap’s lightweight aluminum base acts as a heat sink to keep your laptop cool too, so it’ll run more efficiently and last longer. As a desk stand, the iLap provides better ergonomics by raising the laptop screen higher to reduce neck and shoulder strains.
It also tilts the keyboard so you can type with your wrist straight to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. An external keyboard is not required.
The iLap 15″ W fits the Apple MacBook Pro 15″ and Powerbook 15″. The iLap comes in six other sizes to suit both Mac and PC notebooks. Awarded Laptop Magazine Editor’s Choice for laptop stand.

Features include:
- Cooling: The iLap’s aluminum material and design keeps your laptop cool by drawing heat away from the laptop and increasing cool air flow around it.
- Ergonomics: The iLap raises your screen to a more comfortable eye level, reducing neck and shoulder strain.
- Comfortable: The two velvet cushions makes the iLap very comfortable to use on your lap and is a feature not found on other laptop stands.

Customer Feedback

There is no other laptop stand that works as well as this, but there are a few flaws. The main problem is the bottom cushion’s cover is not well fitted to the cushioning material inside. This leads to the bottom cushion needing occasional adjustment to keep it from slipping out from under the stand, even when secured by Velcro. The cushioning material and the rivets securing the top cushion also feel cheap considering the price. However, there are basically no alternatives that serve this function (and this does work very well keeping that laptop cool and me comfortable), so I am still happy with it.

Customer Feedback

I really like this notebook kit. There are several things that stand out about it.

1) Stylish – the mouse, keyboard and stand are all minimalistic, but look nice with black and yellow accents.
2) Quality – I buy a lot of logitech stuff, but this seems to be really good as far as the build of the keyboard and mouse.
3) USB adapter – it comes with the low profile USB adapter so you never have to take it out of your notebook. This was the main reason i bought the kit, to replace my old notebook mouse with annoying large USB plug.
4) No Wires – some people may want a kit with extra USB ports or inputs, but i did not. I’m glad because there are no extra wires to clutter up my desk.
So overall no complaints.
