Hi guys ive recently been looking at power strips online. I really wanna get a smart power strip to use amazon alexa. I will most likely be plugging in my pc, 1-2 monitors, and the alexa. I've seen some budget ones ive seen have usb ports and all that good jazz, but most of them say around 15 watts. Idk how im gonna run an around 400 watt pc and other things with a 15 wat power strip. Will that work? The "non-smart" power strip i have now gets about 15 wats and i have no problems. Ive seen some heavy duty power strips. Would those work? Are there any suggestions in power strips you would recommend to me? Thx in advance for help.

But i was looking for one with 4 ac outlets or maybe even 5

 

4 would be the max since it is really dangerous to connect that many components to a smart power strip that is connected to one outlet.

This one is not as good as the previous one but it is 4.

 

It would be better to get two of the previous one that I showed you.
