Post subject: Power surges

Are power surges ever a problem in Shanghai? I'll be bringing my laptop with me to Shanghai and was wondering if I need to take as many precautions as possible to protect it?

No problems at all...most laptops power supplies are well suited for most power problems.

If it's a good laptop Me_Again is right, usually no problems as it should have surge protection in the PSU.

You can buy a Power Surge protector (don't go cheap)
