That power supply and battery circuits provide more protection than your common desktop. You could add a simple one outlet surge suppressor you see from Radio Shack, but my outlook on this is such is not required.
Here's reason 2. Almost all laptops I see have a "free voltage" or universal AC input capability. You didn't tell what part of the world you are in, but for the US it's 110 VAC and that power brick is likely marked for 100 to 240 VAC operation. Almost all the devices around you will be burning out if plugged into 240 VAC, but your laptop power brick is good to go.
Hope this helps,
Bob
Does anyone have any recommendations for a portable notebook surge protector? Or do I have to buy those giant multisocket bars?
Thanks.
