had this type of surge protection for my tablet. lasted about 5 yrs until it defended my laptop with its life. Thats the only drawback to this product, one time use only. once it protects you once, it must be replaced. Though, its the most lightweight of all the surge protection devices out there for laptops.

This little supressor installs on the battery charger and stays there tucked away with only a small orange light to let you know that it is working and alive. When the light goes off, it means that it has killed itself to protect your laptop and you need a new one. It is great peace of mind, it does not need any additonal connections but it only fits a 2-prong charger. I bought the 3-prong version from the same manufacturer for my son's HP laptop. I recommend this product as cheap insurance for your precious laptop.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, crappy quality, April 18, 2008

I love this concept. Its elegant and has the makings of a great product. Where this company has skimped is the internals, typical for low cost, made in China garbage. I own an IBM laptop with two prongs, it fit tightly and worked great for the first week. Then I noticed that it was beginning to develop some play. Well a few days later, it stopped working, either the contacts were damaged or something else happened internally. Anyways, I returned it to amazon and just ordered the APC Pro surge protector for notebooks. It was twice the price, but i'm hoping for ten times the quality.
