APC Notebook Surge Protector - PNOTEPROC6

Is APC Notebook Surge Protector for AC, phone and network lines, 3 pin connection, PNOTEPROC ( http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=PNOTEPROC6):

1. Compatible with Dell XPS M1330?
2. Works with 220V AC?

I am asking Question No. 2 because in APC's website, the Technical Specifications say Nominal Input Voltage is 120V AC but at rest of the places, they have sprinkled 100-230/240V next to the product's name.

I travel to India and USA and need a surge protector that is good for both countries (i.e., 110/120 & 220/230V). Any other product that could work for me?

I was also looking out for plug adapter and couldn't find the Indian sytle 3-pin adapter. Any idea, where I should be looking around?

 

bumping this thread. I'm looking for a travel surge protector too, one that would work on both 110 and 220V outlets

 

It would be great, if someone could point something that would be useful to us as I haven't yet found any solution to my original issues. Thanks in advance.

 

I have the PNOTEPRO version of this:

I have used it both on 120v and 220v situations and it has performed as it should. I like its 'inline' connection and straps that attach it to the laptop power brick. I have experienced a few surges while using this device and my laptop has not seen any problems at all. For the price, its convenience and APC's backing you can't go wrong investing in on of these.

To answer question #1. you need to check the your power brick to see which type of plug you currently use and acquire the right version there is a 3 prong and 2 prong version. Short of that with the right version, assuming your power brick does have a detachable power cord, it will work.

As for question #3 Ebay is probably your best bet but look around on google and amazon to see what options are available for your application.

 

This is what I have. I've used it in the US and in Asia. No problems so far and the electricity is very unreliable here in Asia. I have had it for 12 months and have been in Asia for 3. It's 3 pin for my Asus, and I just checked my buddy's Dell Latitude D830 here and it's also 3 pin. Not sure if all Dells are though.

 

would this work on a macbook too?

 

Hi,

I use this one: http://www.tripplite.com/products/product.cfm?productID=121

It is small enough to carry with you an it plugs directly into the wall outlet. IMHO it is more convenient than your inline models because you can charge your other devices through it also and it is small and light enough to take with you. I think I paid like 2 bucks for this after rebate when it was on sale at Circuit City. I believe it retails for around 20 USD.

 

Thank you very much!
