| Adding a USB Hub? Get More Power! |
|
|
If you decide to add a USB hub to your configuration to give you easier access or more ports, a powered hub is a better choice than a passive hub. A powered hub has to be plugged in separately to AC power, but it also allows the use of nearly any kind of USB device. Passive hubs, which are powered by the computer via the USB port, sometimes cannot pull enough juice to operate certain kinds of USB devices, such as cameras or even phone chargers.

"I've used several other tech companies and none have come close to The Mac Guys. The thing I like best about The Mac Guys is that they do so much more than just fix your computer. They will also show you how to fix it yourself and make recommendations on which software or hardware might help you out, then tell you the best place to buy it."
