Easily Unplug Unused Devices with the Electric Table
As we’ve mentioned before, many of the devices we use today waste power with standby and low-power modes. These modes’ only real purpose is to cut down on start-up times.
This is the electric table.
It’s a table designed to help you unplug your unused devices. No doubt you’ve got a couple power bars hidden away under your desk, and it’s a huge pain to crawl under there every time you turn your monitor off.
The electric table has integrated plugs, so instead of plugging your ipod into a hard to reach power bar, you just plug it into the side of the table. When you’re done with it, the plug is easy to reach.
This will no-doubt make unplugging unused devices much easier, and will thus help to reduce this “phantom power” used by devices.
