Does it have USB-C ports?

Does it protect against power surges?

Yes. It has built-in surge protection to guard connected devices against voltage spikes.

How is it different from a regular power strip?

It stands upright and is more compact, so it takes less desk or counter space. A regular strip lies flat and usually offers more outlets.

Can it charge a laptop?

It can power a laptop through its USB-C ports or AC outlet, but check your laptop's charging requirements, since the dock's output is meant for everyday devices.

Our take on the U Brands Mini Vertical Power Dock with USB-C Ports

The U Brands Mini Vertical Power Dock is a compact, upright charging station that stands on a desk or counter instead of lying flat like a typical power strip. It combines AC outlets with USB-C ports and built-in surge protection, so phones, laptops and small appliances can charge from one spot. Its vertical shape saves outlet and desk space, and the woven cord gives reach to place it where you need it. It suits desk, nightstand and kitchen-counter setups where a flat strip would be awkward, though it offers fewer outlets than full-size strips.
