Good design, very useful

I like this device a lot. Contrary to what some people have found, mine works fine with a Lenovo X60T, and I have found Kensington tech support very helpful. Regarding the short cord, consider: the nature of the device is such that it generates heat. Do you want something that generates heat sitting on your desk or floor, or hanging two inches away from the wall so it has air circulating all around it? To me, this seems like a no-brainer.
The main thing is that it is light and powers everything, so you need only one brick for all your devices. For example, if you have a device like a shaver which doesn't have a ready-made tip, you can find a tip with the same volt/amp specs (tech support was helpful here) and make your own tip. Then when you travel, you don't even need a separate adapter for things like shavers. Overall, 5 stars!

Some additional info on Kensington 33197 & 38010

The adapter in Model 33197 is the same as in Model 38010 (confirmed with Kensington tech support). Both include the same cables and auto & empower adapters, but 33197 includes a bunch of SmartTips and 38010 doesn't. Naturally 38010 retailers want to sell you the tips (at $20 a pop) that you get for free in the 33197.
Also, if eg you have a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 none of the shops stock the N29 tip for it anyway (it's included in 33197), so you're going to be waiting on delivery before you can use the adapter whatever you do.

Add-on comment:
Once you get the adapter in use, it is very good. The build quality is excellent, the way the various pieces connect together is easy and a pleasure to use. If you have a device for which Kensington make a tip but it's not in any stores (which is pretty much any device now that CompUSA have closed), the customer service people will send you one for free (more than once as well should you manage to lose the first one!). This may just be a result of the Kensington website being so dire, but hey at least they don't just leave you USKWAP.
An odd thing is that each tip has 1 of 2 color marks on them, and the optional splitter supports only 1 of each color, so you may find that depending on what you're charging that you have 2 devices, 2 tips, a splitter but still can only power 1 of them at a time. And so it goes.

Great! Except no right angle tips

This product is great. Except for: 1) no right angle tips are provided make use almost impossible on planes 2) Power cord too short. but standard cords can be used after minor modification to adapter.
