The Chip Chick seems to think that most hotel rooms don’t have enough outlets. I think the quantity is fine, but I hate having to pull a muscle to get to them. And forget squeezing my tiny hand behind the bed. I think something once bit me back there.

Instead, I’d rather carry Monster Cable’s Outlets To Go power strip. It’s tiny, light and has plenty of power options—and even a built-in circuit breaker.

Don’t worry about yet another device ready to snap in your overstuffed laptop bag; the slick design includes a flat plug and flat cord.

• $29.95 (6 outlets)
• Features 6 AC outlets
• FlatProfile plug, FlatWrap cord
• Resettable circuit breaker
