Conventional power strip is only used to supply power. But this new product named CheckTap can save up to 70% energy with its USB-programmable features.

Plug it into your computer via USB port and then use the software to save energy in some very conditions. Then your computer and peripherals will be shut down when not in use and saving energy accordingly. In addition, the built-in virtual tree can reveal the condition of your energy consumption.
