That is a standard European socket, which are normally rated at 13A.
Also please remember that we use 230V here, so 10A is a high current
for us.  Most of our computers have 5A fuses in them (~1.2 kW).

In Britain, we have seriously anal standards for electrical equipment
mercifully, so there is no such thing here as a 'cheap' socket; all
are fine.  Not sure if one can say the same for Poland.
