Twin towers with one set of inputs

I've noticed that the size of this unit is an issue. This is not a connector for tapping multiple USB devices. It is designed for launching two towers. If, like me, you use a Mac and a PC at the same desk, you know what I'm talking about! That means two keyboards, two mice (mice?) and, if you're an artist, two drawing tablets. If you want to edit videos from PC to Mac and vice versa, then this is for you. A simple hotkey or push of a button allows me to run Vegas and Garage Band at the same time... Virtually no problem! This box has some flaws, but for the price, you can't take a single star off them. For example, it needs cables... A DVI cable to be precise. So if your monitor is an HDMI TV, you need a converter cable. Cables aside, this box is solid tech and does exactly what it says on the tin.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Nothing
