USB Hub for a Macbook Pro, My Wish
Filed Under Apple on 2008-11-10, 17:27
Dear Laptop Accessory Manufacturers,
Please make a USB hub that I can use on my Macbook Pro so I can have more than two things plugged in at once. I have been unable to find an acceptable USB hub that preserves the mobility of my Macbook Pro as well as protects the USB port from damage when USB appendages are sticking out.
We’ve searched everywhere, including all the USB Hubs on Amazon, and the closest we were able to find is this one. As you can see it’s ugly and doesn’t sit quite flush. There’s a great spot on the right hand side where a very thin USB hub for the Macbook Pro would fit perfectly. Making it flush against the body and only slightly wider than a USB plug would give it extra support and make it look nice. If you want to get fancy, make it swivel so that when it accidentally hits something it doesn’t get wrenched out of the USB port.
I have included a highly polished product mock-up of how this would integrate with my Macbook Pro. Oh, and one more thing; please make it match the sexy aluminum on my Macbook Pro so as to not attract embarrassing attention to the lack of USB ports on my pricey piece of equipment.
Thank you,
Ed
In all seriousness, if anyone has ever seen a USB Hub like this that would work on a Macbook Pro, please let me know!

One of those seems appropriate.
Thanks, but most of those have annoying cables. My laptop already looks like an octopus when I'm working. :(
Honestly this one has a cord so short its not noticeable: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item…
I appreciate the desire though. I am in love with my brand new MB and debating a hub solution for it.
This seems to fit your bill:

This is also my wish! why cant they make something sleek like this design?????
BTW is that hub to go an external hub or can you connect it to the side of your computer????
Love the idea. The only problem is the new MBP have everything on one side – i.e. a USB hub of that sort would cover the SD-card slot as well as the audio input/output jacks.
This is very cool, thanks for the info. I had no clue you could integrate facebook like this.
