Laptop -- Charging Brick -- Surge protector ???

When my laptop is plugged into 110 volts and charging does the charging brick that changes the AC to DC provide protection against power surges and spikes? Should I still have a surge suppressor in...

If you are worried about it buy a single outlet surge protector very cheap insurance.

I would go one step further and buy a surge protected power strip you can use the multiple outlets for printer, modem or router protection.

Both use MOV's that protect from voltage spikes higher the joules the higher the protection. Jules is normally printed on the power strip.

Between 1,000-2,000 joules protect:

Laptop/Notebook
Tablet
Router
Printer
Power Tools
