Pros: it looks fine. it works. i used it on my toshiba laptop and it worked right away. be sure to set the voltage to the right setting though, just to be safe. the price isnt really high but still.
Cons: the cable is kinda short. you would probably have to buy a extension cable to reach the back seat. unless you have a really small car :P.
Other Thoughts: nothing really. it does what it is supposed to do.
Bottomline: if you need one buy this one. it would probably cost a lot more if you would have to buy one in the store. i bought one for my other laptop for €35,- so.
Pros: It worked on my Benq Joybook, it was easy to take out the little connectors, After i got the right one, i ran to my car and plugged it in to the cigarette thing, and the led behind the Volt viewer began to light Green. After that i inserted the connector to my laptop and BAM! It worked.
Cons: Cable little bit short, i can buy a extension cable to get it at the backseats!
Other Thoughts: The price is what you get. You dont have the best charger around, but if you dont attach USB connectors or anything i think this charger is good for your laptop. And to compare this with the local stores. The cheapest one with 5 connectors was 40 dollars. So thats 1/4 of the price
Bottomline: Really worth the money, but if you can never be sure it will be working on your laptop. So buying this is a small risk.
Pros: - Overall good build quality.- Does charge my 14` Acer Extensa 4220 laptop, which came with 65W power adapter.- Does charge Acer Aspire One netbook (original PSU has 30W)- Dont gets very hot while working - Costs twice as cheap as in local stores (that SKU is branded "HAMA" in Russia)
Cons: - Acer plug won`t work without some modifications. The center (+) pin ain`t got contact with the hole. Fixed this in one minute with a needle.- Output voltage is 0.5-0,7V higher than expected (not a real cons, laptops easely hold +-1,5V than rated)
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Works as advertised. Absolutly usefull if your original laptops PSU rated 65W or less.
Pros: - cheap- works
Cons: I tried to use this on a Gateway Pentium 4 laptop. I kind of expected that it wouldn't power the laptop when powered on because it's such a power hog, but I tried it anyway because heck, it's about 1/5 the price of the cheapest product I could find with a power rating close to that of the 120V power supply that came with my laptop. Sure enough after a few minutes the power supply started to make a pathetic little bleating noise and felt warm to the touch. I guess even before the cooling fans kicked in by big ol' laptop was too much for it.
Other Thoughts: this is still useful for me to charge the battery in my laptop while traveling, without having to use an inverter. If I want to power it up on the road though I need to run off of battery. I'll have to pop for one of the real deal big name power supplies to run straight off the cig. lighter.
Bottomline: worth the money, but make sure it fits your needs before you buy.
