Just got my Dell Inspiron 700M (great machine-- I love it!) but I seem to have a problem. I can't figure out which power tip to use with my Juice Adapter for it. The website doesn't even list the 600M, much less the 700M! Hopefully some other flyertalker has already solved this problem and can share it with me....
Send an email to techsupport@mobl.com. They are the tech support group for Igo. Unfortunately, they couldn't help me with finding a Toshiba cord for my old Empower PowerXtender. I do have a Tip 6 (which fits the Toshiba) for the Juice 70 if that will work.

Thanks! I got a quick response from them. Unfortunately, it was "no, we don't support that model"... :(

I have a latitude D600. With this model, they switched the plug from the one that they have used for a few years on many latitude and inspirons.
Igo never supported the D600 (same plug as the 600M), but I did find a targus--problem is that there is a chip in the computer that recognizes the power adapter. Since the targus is not recognized, it wouldn't charge the battery.
Dell finally came out with a Universal AC/DC power supply that works on these computers and will charge your computer in the car or airplane.... it is made by igo so it can use their peripheral power system accessories, but it is bigger and heavier than the igo juice.

thanks. I'll see if i can hunt it down. I really like my IGO, because by having that, I only have to carry one charger for my laptop, cell and PDA!!

Try part # 310-4804

I guess that as part of becoming a Dell supplier, igo decided not to sell this independently

I bought one of those for my 600m. If you want it, make me an offer. I hated it.
(too heavy and the PPS connector butts up against the laptop, so you can't use it simultaneously when powering the laptop. so the extra Sony T616 PPS connector was a waste of money as well.)
I went back to carrying my old targus credit-card sized adaptor for the airline plus the smaller and lighter Dell brick that came with it. (I have two, one that stays connected at home, and the other travels with me.)
