Is this switch good for CCNA lab?

I just came across it this morning...

BTW, any criteria for choosing a switch for CCNA lab?

Short answer is NO. An unmanaged switch is nothing but a glorified hub. It doesn't run IOS. There's nothing to configure.

Have you gone through the links ALXX posted on your other thread? Those have a lot of information that will clear most of the questions you may have. To sum up, your safest bet is a couple of 2950 switches. If you do your homework and don't rush you can find them on eBay anywhere from 30-60 bucks a piece. Also, have you searched here for "CCNA LAB"? There's a good number of lab setups, what works and what doesn't, sources for labs, etc.

That was a timely and great read IMO. Yes it took a long time, Wendell is very winded, but a MUCH deeper understanding. I would HIGHLY recommend reading the blog.
