New computers will generally come with two or three USB ports in them, but it doesn't take long to fill those ports up. You definitely want to buy a USB hub if you're going to use any type of external peripherals. Most of them are USB now. So USB cameras, USB keyboards, mice, printers those all fill up your USB ports really quickly. Thus, it's not a bad idea to get a USB hub and that USB hub will plug into one of the existing USB ports to give you additional USB ports to plug in your peripherals.
