Can anyone tell me a reason this would not work? Dealing with performance issues from the local power company stepping up voltage at night, not to mention the thing pushes out a magnetic field of .2mG a few feet farther.

Fairly effing pointless unless you want to cause a potential ground loop or just waste a USB port.

Modern power supplies are switching type. i.e. they can normally take 100-220VAC 50-60Hz without any change in the output. Not the chink shit though.

Though I suppose there are enough idiots out there that would buy these.
If you have power issues use a line interactive UPS.

Laptops have a frigging built-in UPS.. It's called a battery.
