Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Useless. Absolutely USELESS

Well, for starters, this product will not convert any voltage for you. So, the statement in its description "is suitable for most consumer electronics ranging from 110-volts to Mac 275-watts, to 220-volts to Mac 550-watts" is wrong and intentionally put to mislead people.

Second, the product will not support three pin devices so if you want to put in a three pronged pin into it, that won't work.

Third, it gives a huge statement about able to work in 150 countries. Well, it doesnt support the three pin plug of europe used across EU, won't work in India and SA as the plug it fits into are vertical plugs and not three pin plugs and in that position, it will break before handling the weight. Won't support three pin operation in these countries and won't even fit in the plug. In Australia also, it will work only with two pin support (which is my biggest crib with this product).

The built is cheap plastic and not sure it will take a fall to the non-carpeted floor.

Not sure why this product is still present with all the false claims and such a low quality.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Beats Carrying more than one
I used this plug on my trip to Europe, and let me tell you it really came in handy. Worked in every country i went to(including Hungary) Saves alot of space but it did hang or tilt a little in some sockets, guess it was the way I had it positioned, but it definetly is worth the buy!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Product
Great product, convenient in many different countries. One note is to make sure you carry an extra fuse in the event you should blow one. Very easy to use and change them, though.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great All-in-One Adapter, works in China
I just got back from China visiting Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Hong Kong, and other places I forgot. I did not encounter any major problems when using this adapter. Most places in China uses an outlet that includes a V shape and/or 2 prong rounded. However, the 2 prong rounded outlet has a 2-in-1 and is able to fit the 2 straight plugs that DO NOT have the holes (the standard for U.S plugs has the holes, so do not plug the U.S. plugs in the China outlet or else sparks will fly).

Of all the hotels I've been in, I could not use the V shape one except for one hotel in Xian. It seems the Kensington's adapter's V shape is slightly larger than the standard China plugs which is why it didn't fit. Pretty much all of the outlets (with the 2 prong rounded outlet) were able to fit the 2 prong rounded adapter. The minor problems with using the 2 prong rounded plug was that it felt a little loose especially for some electronics that uses a large base for a plug, like the Apple Macbook and if you have to connect a transformer to it. But these problems were only minor and I did not miss a charge at all over my 3 week stay in China. Hong Kong uses a differently plug which uses 3 large rectangular prongs. The adapter has that included as well and worked without problems.

This adapter saves you the trouble of carrying so many pieces. I bought two of these for my trip to China and my sister was amazed at how convenient it was to use and carry so I gave one to her. I would highly recommend it for anyone traveling to China. But if you want to use the V outlet or the U.S 3 prong w/ground instead, I suggest buying another adapter for that.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Woked great in Belgium
Adapter used in Brussels for computer and cell phone power. The adapter worked as stated and as confirmed in many other reviews. I bought this adapter because of its positive review history.

Sales of semiconductors in November indicate that consumer products such as LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs, digital music players, and other devices sold well during the holidays, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said Monday.

November chip sales rose 2.3 percent year-on-year to $23.1 billion, the SIA said.

Unit demand has far outpaced last year. But falling chip prices have hurt industry revenue, the chip association said. For example, DRAM (dynamic RAM) bit shipments grew 25 percent in the three months through mid-December, but average selling prices have declined 20 percent over the same period.

The association also noted that rising energy prices and concerns about the sub-prime lending issue in the U.S. do not appear to have had a significant impact on consumer spending for the holidays, the SIA said. The group reiterated its forecast that worldwide semiconductor sales will reach a new record in 2007. But it will take a stronger than expected December selling season to reach the 3.8 percent growth goal the group had forecast earlier this year, the SIA said.

Investment banking firm Credit Suisse was not as optimistic as the SIA.

The November data was below normal seasonal trends, noted analyst John Pitzer, in a report on Monday. Even if December reaches its normal seasonal growth, 2007 industry revenue will only reach $255.7 billion, up 3.2 percent over last year. The growth percentage would fall short of the SIA's 3.8 percent target.

The slow November prompted Credit Suisse to lower its 2008 chip industry revenue forecast to 9.4 percent year-on-year growth, down from a previous target of 13 percent.
