power surges

hi guys,

just wanted to ask as i am going to india for a month, i would obviously take the laptop (np 5793) with me. However there are large amount of power surges u get throughout the day....I think there were times where you get 5 or 6 a day...and then on the 6th one u just get a total power cut.

..its ridiculous....basically does anyone have a solution for this problem?...

As i would like to protect my new laptop from the power surges....are there any compact adapters which I can take with me on my travels so that I can charge it in hotels/houses through the adapter with peace of mind?

btw i live in the uk so links to uk stores would be nice...im not only looking for an adapter from a shop online, i wud like to know if possible about any recommendations after having used one?

EDIT: Also does it have a double pronged or a triple pronged power connection...you''ll see what i mean in the link below:

Though i am not in the UK i do have this model from bestbuy you might be able to find one there in the UK as they make this one to work internationally.

lol! i live in India btw(mostly!!) and i've been using my Sager NP5793 for around 3 weeks here without probs!!

If u're gonna stay in a hotel or somethin! they have stabilizers and surge protectors pre-installed there!!

 

I've been living under a rock under all these years, I didn't know that the included power adapter doesn't protect you from surges.

 

lol sohail mate, i bet u live in bombay or delhi or some big city....i live in coimbatore which is a growing city and it has happened last yr with ma ipod tho somehow i left my ipod for like a month and it suddenly started working...lol i dont want the same to happen to the laptop....also all of the computers are protected coz they have ups.
i remember last summer i went to india there were power cuts and fluctuations all the time and i live bang in the middle of coimbatore in the city.

This is what I use, but I'm not sure if it is the plug type you are needing. It is from APC and is a great product.

 

A basic power surge protector would be good.But make sure the power pins match to the sockets there.

 

lol! yea! haven't got much power fluctuations here(ND)!!

btw Belkin has some good surge protectors!! - http://www.belkin.com/surgeprotection/
