For those not so gifted - what does it do?

Do they do a flux capacitor? Preferably also for under a fiver

i think its a shame that these chinese companies rip off the hardware of good companies like saleae.

When they start ripping off YAPPs, I'll give up. I don't think the Chinese are big on leisure boating yet, so I have some time for more pointless projects yet.

You plug it into your circuit and it shows whether there's any logic at all in what you are trying to do. Never got a peep of the darned thing with my circuits.

For a sensible answer, the first 31 words on the Wikipedia entry are fairly straight forward...

A logic analyzer is an electronic instrument that captures and displays multiple signals from a digital system or digital circuit. A logic analyzer may convert the captured data into timing diagrams...

After that it gets all geeky.

So, handy for anyone doing electronics. Also, with a suitable attenuating lead, it can answer questions such as: Is my NMEA/SeaTalk/Transducer output there? Essentially it functions as an oscilloscope, but without giving the magnitude of the signal.

For under a fiver, what's to lose?

[Apart from a fiver of course]

Much more useful for digital electronics than an oscilloscope, especially old fashion non-storage types. Anyone want to buy a Tektronix 2236 surplus to my requirements?
