I love this product. Unfortunately, I blew mine up in West Africa (my computer was not damaged), so when I returned I ordered another right away. I wish that it were a little thinner, but I suppose you can't have everything....at least right now!
This traveler surge suppressor has a retractable plug to connect to an outlet. The mechanism that locks the plug out is extremely hard to activate and it is impossible to push the plug into an outlet without it being locked. Otherwise, the device appears to be as advertised.
Basically it's the best mov surge protector for a laptop. mov's are little disks in the surge protector that litterally pop when a surge spike happens. If you can handle the small weight difference the white isoblok 2-0 is better. It is a lower joule rating but offers a 0 sec. clamp time and lower voltage threshold. A spike only lasts around 1ns and a surge 3 ns. This adapter is ok at under 1ns. It is at 150 volts though and the isoblock is at 140 volts. Remember that not all power out of a socket is at 120..
