Highlights
Quality
Love belkin products they just feel well built and have a level of sturdiness about them.
This is well made and has a good, sturdy feel to it.
The extension has surge protection for safety and also a switch to turn all the sockets off.
Disappointingly, this power strip does not achieve this consistent pattern of excellence, though it will depend on how you want to use it.
Price
Best priced and reliable 8 socket extension lead i found
Finding something with 8 sockets that's not a tower type is becoming rare it seams,for £44.
There’s is a £60,000 connected equipment warranty with this which most surge protectors don’t give.
The price is slightly expensive in my opinion.
Packaging/appearance
Arrived well-packaged as shown in the attached photos.

It looks and feels better made, more of a premium product, than similar chargers i have tried in the past from cheaper brands.
And it is putting out 30w on the type c which is more than the ones that look similar.
5a with various other negotiated voltages and currents, several offering 30w of charging.

While belkin offer a great insurance warranty protecting up to £20000 worth of connected equipment on this foursocket strip i can’t help but feel that’s being used to justify the inflated price

For the cost the sockets should have their own switches and the switch it does have is rather stiff

For laptops youll better off with a separate power supply but thats fine as the higher power chargers tend to be quite expensive
