Buying Surge Protector

[noob]

Hi,

I am getting "Belkin Surge Protector Superior Series 6 Way" Costing 1450 Rs/- for my lappy as of now.(Gaming PC in future). Is this one worth purchasing?

Let me know if there is any other better Surge Protector. I am from mumbai.

usually Belkin's surge protector is considered better than the rest (at least here). BTW what is the asking price. if price isn't too high, get that surge protector & do check its original Belkin & not a chinese clone.

Yes Belkin's Surge Protectors are very good. Also can you please post a link to the product you're considering.

I am using it now for 2 months, it's great. I frankly don't think there is any better out there than it. It cost me Rs. 1550 from M.D Computers. So you can blindly buy it. Make sure about the 1 lac protection printed on the box.

@ithehappy

Good to know thanks. I'm going to purchase one too from MD

@Anil

Reputation precedes Prime ABGB. They don't/won't sell Chinese clones.

Buy this one instead, for 120 bucks more & yes, you can buy it blindly

Anil, i think its worth purchasing. Prevents voltage spikes from frying your system. A must buy imo.

Oops I thought OP was asking about the Gold series!(Didn't read it, sorry). Anyway, if you have to buy one buy the Gold over Superior.

Just to clarify. The job of the distributor is to distribute, service centres is to service and the job of the seller is to sell. Dealers earn their reputation for their prices and RMA services. Distributors and service centres work in a similar funda in their own field. Sadly we're living in a world where people somewhere in the middle do something unethical that it just becomes extremely difficult to locate the guilty.

My point is- a dealer is good. A distri is good. A service centre is good. A brand is good. That's it. Never ever go to the level of trusting it with your eyes closed. That seperates you folks from others who buy based on brands.

You said a lot..but I always went with BRANDS, still going with BRANDS and will go with BRANDS, coz I believe that they had to work fu(kin hard to earn that level called 'BRAND' and till now I am not disappointed. I will always take Peace of Mind above the Money factor.
If I sounded harsh please pardon me, but I know I said the truth here.

I got the Superior one

Nope it doesn't glow. No worry, you are with one of the safest Surge Protector.
