Surge Protector

I have upgraded from a desktop to an Inspiron 5150.  Do I need a to use a Surge Protector like I did with my desktop?

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
 
Please read this definition of a surge protector.  You may then decide whether one is worth purchasing.

While a AC adapter will somewhat protect you from small surges, a large surge will still manage to fry your laptop.

A surge protector is definitly worth getting. When you do get one, remember you get what you pay for. You want one with at least a 2000 joule rating. Anything less is not worth getting.

I've just ordered a new surge protector from Dell.  It has a 2065 joule rating.

Thanks again!
