Fred,
The way I understand is that it depends on the device. Some devices need extra power, for those you will need to plug the hub in. Others devices, like my printer, can be plugged into a non powered hub and work fine. I would say get a powered hub and only plug it in when you need to.

Hi Guys -
I would appreciate some info. I was wondering if a USB hub that comes with an AC adapter would work without the adapter? I was wanting a NON-powered USB hub for use with a laptop, but I was thinking if the powered hub would work both ways then it would be better to buy a powered hub.
Thanks for any information.
