Not only are these handy on the road, but if you share USB peripherials between a laptop and home machine, you can plug them all into the hub and then run a USB extension cable up from your desktop. You can redirect all USB peripherials from one machine to the other.

The smallest four port is the Tripp-Lite! (Buy.com website has the wrong picture. This unit has a 1 inch cable that fits inside - here's the right picture at Amazon - with a much higher price!)
