Sanwa rolls out wattage-watching power strip

Devices that keep watch on the amount of electricity you’re using are hardly anything new, but Sanwa has managed to refine the idea somewhat with its new 700-TP1052DW power strip, which is considerably more compact and a tad less unsightly than some other similar options. Nothing too complicated here — just plug in your devices, switch on each outlet as needed, and keep watch on the total wattage being used on the handy built-in LCD (it’ll even alert you if you reach a critical level). No word on pricing or availability just yet, but you can check out an enthralling 21 second video of the power strip after the break.
