Pros: It is a great car adapter !! I have a HP Pavilion 15,4 inch with a input of 18,5 Volt. I set it on 18 volt on the charger and it works fine !! I turned it on , no problem at all !! It is a great buy for the price !
Cons: The only thing I dont't realy like is the button on the charger for setting the volts. But that isn't so bad. You do it on time and your ready.(but always look if it is still on the right volt,you never know who toucht your charger). And the reviews must be lower than 500 characters !!
Other Thoughts: nothing
Bottomline: It is a nice charger for the price It realy is!! This is a must buy !!!BUY IT !!!!
Pros: Very cheap compared to the ones sold here in Norway. The build quality is about the same as the ones available here at a cost of around $90.00! It charged up my netbook really fast.
Cons: The sliding switch is confusing and mistakes can be indeed expensive. One has to count the clicks and because of the consequences, I double and triple check every time I use it. I never know if someone has fiddled with it while I was away from the car.The + and - signs on the adapters are useless, being in the middle of nowhere.
Other Thoughts: Another switch setup would make this product a dream. I am thinking of a dial switch with a screwdriver slot with an arrow with the different voltages printed around this dial switch. The cable from the lighter plug could have been a bit longer as the unit hangs from the plug while in use.
Bottomline: Overall I am quite happy with his product. These things are expensive here and been looking at them in the shops here but was not prepared to part with $90.00.
Pros: This device is useful for more than just laptop power supply- it can step UP voltage from DC input. Useful for charging circuts too. But it works great for laptops and is VERY small and portable, as long as your laptop is not mondo huge, it will not overload. I have used them many times on many laptops and none have been incompatible.
Cons: One of the units I have had suffered from a broken dc plug (cigarette end) which was easily changed with another cable. Also if left in the sunlight- the cable gets stiff and deteriorates (Texas sun is da-bomb).
Other Thoughts: I find it useful to put HEAT SHRINK around the adapter plug (to keep it from popping off the end) and a strip of clear tape over the switch, so you do not fry the laptop due to accidental voltage changes!
Bottomline: You can't build or find anything cheaper that does the job. And why just get one- get two! One for keeping in the car, and one for the laptop bag- why not, its cheap enough!
Pros: Generally it does the job...almost.Price is really low compared to everything else.Has adjustable voltage and plenty of adapters.Cable is long enough.You can charge other stuff than your laptop.
Cons: Works well only when laptop is switched off.Otherwise it smells like it's going to melt.So it's rather an emergency than an entire trip solution.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: It's good to have it in your car. Especially if you have a 3g internet access. I can work( well not at 100%) from almost everywhere.It was a nice buy overall
