    The G1S will be arriving next week and I need to get a surge protector.

    I'm going to get one of these two, but I'm not sure which one I need.

    How many Pins does the G1S AC Adapter have?

    APC Notebook Surge Protector:

    APC Notebook Surge Protector for AC, phone and network lines, 3 pin connection, 100-240V

    or:

    APC Notebook Surge Protector for AC, phone and network lines, 2 pin connection, 100-240V


    You can see the them here:

    That refers to whether or not you have a ground hole in your outlet.

    If you don't have the 3rd hole in the wall, you won't be able to install the surge. See exhibit a, top prong:
