The IT Nerd

I’m always on the lookout for stuff that can make my life easier when I travel. So when I saw the ORICO 20W Universal Power Plug Travel Converter & Adapter on sale for $14.99 CDN at my local computer shop, I grabbed it:

As you can see from the front, you can plug in any AC from anywhere on planet Earth. It covers 100-240V which means that whatever you plug in will work. But it has one weakness:

It only has a North American power plug. That really limits what you can do with it as you can’t take it overseas without an adapter. However, it does have one redeeming quality:

It has four USB ports that will charge your devices at 5V and 2.4A per port. That means that all your devices will get charged quickly.

So, is this worth it? Maybe if you need to charge multiple devices or you need to use devices from overseas in North America. But it isn’t worth it if you travel in my opinion. But at $14.99 CDN which was down from $24.99, it won’t break the bank to have lying around just in case you need it.
