It's small enough to fit into a backpack and travel to LAN parties, and powerful enough to run a small office network.
Installation is almost foolproof.
Also, the small size does mean that the cable connected to the switch are likely to weigh more than the switch, so be careful where the unit is placed or it may end up on the floor. The price is right, and the performance is good, hell, I might even get another one for times when more than five of my friends stop by to get their virtual butts kicked in a little multiplayer action.
