I have a wall that I would like to add 5 small desks against, with a gaming laptop on each desk. however There is only 1 outlet on the wall, and because I want the laptop chargers to be organised in a cable tray under each desk, is there a safe way to daisy chain power strips from the outlet to each desk? according to google it will overload the power strips or something. i just need a solution so each laptop will be able to be safely used at the same time. (I think the laptop power adapters are 160w each)

It's not dangerous to daisy-chain power strips, so long as the total draw on the outlet is under 1800W. With 5 160W gaming laptops, you'll be fine. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)
