    Looking to get a powered USB hub for my PC. Ideally I’d like one which can provide enough juice to charge phone / tablet too. Anyone got any recommendations ?

    USB3.0 nice but not necessary. Would need a minimum of 3 ports on the hub.

    I use a Belkin 3.0 4-port. Does what it does, is tiny and looks nice stuck on the wall behind my other monitor. It’ll charge up to 2 phones at a time, but won’t do iPads – don’t know how/if that affects charging other tablets.

    Thanks chaps, food for thought.

    Having done a little more research (well a couple of google searches) I’m drawn to this unit:

    Any other recommendations ?

    That Hoo Too looks like an almost straight rip-off of an Anker Hub

    clicky!

    I have a few things from Anker and they seem very well made.

    EDIT – the Hoo Too has charging ports of 1amp and 2.1 amp, whereas the Anker’s charging ports are all autosensing 2.1 amp ports.

    Ah, cheers! That Anker unit looks a better bet and it’s only a few quid more. Thanks.

    The Hoo Too does look like a rip of the Anker 🙂
