Cable-less USB hub

If you don't have a separate power adapter, you're going to run into power issues since all the USB ports are going to try to run off of the power of a single USB connector. I'd say the hassle outweighs the gains :(

I am looking for a USB hub that does not have a cable but just plugs into an existing port on the side of my laptop and provides 2/3+ ports whilst sitting flush to the body of the laptop. I cannot find one anywhere. Does anybody know of one?

 

thanks :)

Are you not entertained!?

He wants a direct USB plug from the hub itself, not a cord from the hub to the USB.

Erm...so like this then:

You won't be able to get a usb hub with like no cable at all (at least one which is reliable) just short length ones.

Somewhat Like that. But having more ports on it. No cables, I think that's what he means at least by having no cables...

That has another 2 USB ports on the back.

However from reading about it, it doesn't have enough power to do much of anything.
