- How many devices can it power at once?
- Three AC plugs plus the USB ports. The USB ports share one charging supply, so plugging in several phones at once slows each one.
- Is the cord long enough for a desk?
- The 4 ft cord suits a desk near a wall outlet. For outlets across a room, a longer strip is a better fit.
- Does it protect against power surges?
- Monster markets its strips around surge protection, but check the joule rating on the packaging for your model, since it varies by version.
- Can it charge a laptop over USB?
- Only if the USB port supplies enough wattage for your laptop, which most compact strips do not. Use the laptop's own adapter in an AC outlet.
- Is it good for travel?
- It is small and light, but the 4 ft cord and three outlets make it more useful as a fixed desk or bedside strip.
