Take a look at this little box from
Kensington, you know, if you are like me, |
| 00:00:14 |
00:00:18 |
you probably have
a desktop and a laptop right? |
| 00:00:18 |
00:00:22 |
And it can sometimes be a little
frustrating sharing peripherals |
| 00:00:22 |
00:00:23 |
between the two, right?
|
| 00:00:24 |
00:00:27 |
I mean, you have your one printer,
you have your external hardrive, |
| 00:00:28 |
00:00:29 |
you want to be able to use
that printer with your desktop, |
| 00:00:29 |
00:00:32 |
and you want to use it with your laptop,
and you want to be able to use your |
| 00:00:32 |
00:00:36 |
external hardrive with all of the stuff.
You could network everything together, |
| 00:00:36 |
00:00:39 |
but that's kind of a pain. And you just
kinda want it to be a nice, simple solution |
| 00:00:40 |
00:00:43 |
and Kensington has
really come up with one. |
| 00:00:43 |
00:00:47 |
This thing is really, really great.
It is the Kensington ShareCentral 2, |
| 00:00:48 |
00:00:53 |
and it's going to absolutely simplify your whole
deal with sharing some of your peripherals |
| 00:00:55 |
00:00:59 |
with two of your computers and
it's gonna do it in a really, really easy way. |
| 00:01:00 |
00:01:04 |
Take a look at this. On the back
there are just a few ports on this thing. |
| 00:01:05 |
00:01:08 |
You've got, these are plugging
into your computer right here. |
| 00:01:08 |
00:01:09 |
These will run to the USB
ports on your computer. |
| 00:01:10 |
00:01:13 |
And these are plugged
in from your USB device. |
| 00:01:14 |
00:01:19 |
So, they say you plug in your printer here,
and you plug in your internal hardrive right here. |
| 00:01:19 |
00:01:21 |
Alright? And now you have your
two peripherals hooked up to this box, |
| 00:01:22 |
00:01:24 |
and your two computers
hooked up to this box. |
| 00:01:24 |
00:01:26 |
Plug it into the wall with
the included AC adaptor. |
| 00:01:27 |
00:01:30 |
And then, every time you want
to switch between something, |
| 00:01:32 |
00:01:33 |
when you want to switch,
you just push this button. |
| 00:01:34 |
00:01:36 |
If you want to switch your hardrive between
your two computers, you just push the button. |
| 00:01:36 |
00:01:38 |
If you want to switch your printer between
the two computers, you just push this button. |
| 00:01:38 |
00:01:43 |
So, with this box you could actually
have you printer live and running |
| 00:01:43 |
00:01:48 |
on your desktop while your hardrive is
live and running to your notebook, |
| 00:01:49 |
00:01:53 |
and all with a simple
flip of the switch. |
| 00:01:54 |
00:01:57 |
So, as you can see, you're
probably thinking, ah-ha, |
| 00:01:57 |
00:01:59 |
this is exactly what
I've been looking for. |
| 00:02:00 |
00:02:03 |
Every time I try to print something I have to
unplug my USB port and plug it into my printer. |
| 00:02:04 |
00:02:07 |
Every time I try to print over my network,
it just doesn't work, for some reason. |
| 00:02:07 |
00:02:11 |
This is going to solve that problem
and it's gonna solve it in a very, very |
| 00:02:12 |
00:02:15 |
simple, simple way.
It's all plug and play. |
| 00:02:15 |
00:02:16 |
There's no network required.
|
| 00:02:17 |
00:02:20 |
It's gonna work
right outa the box. |
| 00:02:20 |
00:02:25 |
It does include some driver utility CDs,
to make things a little smoother. |
| 00:02:26 |
00:02:30 |
But, you actually don't even have to do it
because it actually has an automatic |
| 00:02:30 |
00:02:34 |
and a manual mode that's going to
allow you, to allow this to actually be |
| 00:02:35 |
00:02:38 |
controlled through the drivers
there included with it as well. |
| 00:02:38 |
00:02:41 |
So, if you have it on automatic mode,
you can actually switch between devices |
| 00:02:42 |
00:02:44 |
without even touching the box,
which is really, really cool. |
| 00:02:44 |
00:02:49 |
But, I thought this was neat. I pulled it off the
shelf, and I was like, you know this is something |
| 00:02:49 |
00:02:52 |
that I could use, so other people
could probably use it as well. |
| 00:02:52 |
00:02:57 |
Not a whole lot more to say about it.
It's just going to simplify your situation |
| 00:02:58 |
00:03:00 |
when sharing your peripherals.
And... on the top here, |
| 00:03:00 |
00:03:03 |
it does have a picture of a printer
and a hardrive, it doesn't have to be |
| 00:03:04 |
00:03:05 |
a printer or a hardrive.
It could be a scanner. |
| 00:03:06 |
00:03:09 |
It could be a webcam.
It could be anything that is USB, |
| 00:03:10 |
00:03:15 |
any USB external device you're gonna be
able to switch between two computers |
| 00:03:15 |
00:03:18 |
with this little box
from Kensington. |
| 00:03:18 |
00:03:20 |
It is the Kensington
ShareCentral2 |
| 00:03:21 |
00:03:24 |
and it's gonna make your whole world a lot
simpler you'll thank me for it later, alright? |
| 00:03:25 |
