I travel with a laptop, iPad, phone, and smartwatch, and I want to bring the fewest chargers/cables with me. This gets extra tricky when traveling internationally. This power strip is perfect! Laptop and iPad chargers plug into the sockets, and phone/watch chargers plug into the USB ports. With only one thing going into the wall, I don't have to bring a bunch of adapters. I love this, and it's going everywhere with me, whether I'm in the US or international.
