Visually seen makes part of a very solid impression. But appearance is not everything. It is not possible to set the threshold for total shutdown. One can only choose between PC and laptop and if you have a laptop via docking station, there is no shutdown. It would be better if you had decided to implement the total shutdown via USB, so what is there, too. I chose the switch position "PC" for the total shutdown and have switched between dock and master / slave power strip a normal connector strip that I switch to shut down the PC and it works quite well. But for me, the "presence" role of the master / slave power strip was important. I do not work on my PC often more than 16 hours a day, of course at a time. I often have long phone calls, and then I move away from the PC. At that moment exactly what I had wished for happened: the unnecessary peripherals (especially 2 large monitors, printers) is shut down safely. When I sit down again behind the PC everything is ready again. I hope that this will be reflected in any event in my next electricity bill! So I'm quite happy with my purchase the bottom line. By the way: the shortage I have described was known to me from an earlier review, I knew really what to expect.
