This is perfect for anyone who travels with a laptop. It's small and fits nicely next to the ac adapter in my laptop case. It protects my laptop from surges through the AC outlet and phone jacks. I have been pleased with APC products for about six years. They provide excellent customer support. I highly recommend their products.

The notebook surge arrest protector is obviously useful because it protects your expensive laptop from electrical damage. This protector allows for one laptop plug and also one phone connection for the modem. It is also very light weight which is important in laptop devices. My only complaint is that it is a little bulkier in size than I would like. The prongs that connect into the wall socket is on the backside of what you see in the picture and stick out straight which adds to its bulkiness. I feel like I have to make more space than I would like in my laptop case for this. I wish they would have made the prongs like the way Kodak does for their battery chargers where the prongs fold in when unused.

Bought one few months back...n i guess it is a gud investment for costly equipments...as other reviewers pointed out...it is quite bulky....the prongs always stick out,i am not able to carry it around in my laptop bag.....moreover for those of u, who travel a lot....NOTE: this things works only at 120V that means it will simply blow out when u will use it in countries which have higher voltage ratings.....APC do have other products which work at higher ratings too

Update:
5 Years on and this thing is still working for me

I had this surger protector for 10 years.
It does give me a piece of mind when I use my Laptop.
However, this protector is out of date with only 120 Joules of Surge Energy rating.
I recently replaced this protector with Belkin, with equal size but has 850 Joules of Surge Rating. 10 years ago I would give this a 4 stars. Today (Feb 2, 2007), 1 star-->it is an out of date product.
