[QUOTE="iHarrison, post: 1269700, member: 195020"] Well, you only get one more with the 17" model... It's never a good idea to run too many USB devices off the power of a laptop anyway, as it destroys the battery life (both short-term draining the charge faster, and long-term by over-taxing it & making it wear-out sooner) - I dare say that's why Apple won't put any more USB ports on MacBooks, even though there's enough space on the chassis to hypothetically double (at least) the number available without making them look cluttered...
