What are the minimum power-use specifications to prevent clicking?
I want to use this style of Master power strip for my laptop and external hard drives. With a different brand of power strip, it seems that my laptop does not draw enough power to maintain the "on" circuit and it clicks on and off all the time. Before I buy this one, I'm trying to find out whether my laptop draws enough power to function correctly in the Master outlet. Does the manufacturer specify a recommended minimum output (or whatever it's called) for the Master device?
Thank you!
I have a HP desktop computer (Envy 700-210xt DT) with 460W power supply. I have the CPU connected to the Master outlet. I have six other devices connected to this power strip which includes an HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, 23" LED monitor, speaker system with subwoofer, external Hard Drive, cordless phone and desk lamp. I have had no problems since I connected it in December 2013.
