I often fly AC YUL - > LHR in business class. AC Operates this route with a 330 (which I think is a great plane and actually like the seats better than the &&W/L). The major peeve with this plane is the lack of real outlet power - they only have Empower ports.

I realize that eventually these planes will be replaced but until then, I would like to be able to use the empower port with my ultra small dell notebook. I am wondering if anyone knows where I can get a Auto to Empower converter. I have read that the voltage is similar and a regular car type inverter (of which I have 3) will work in these plugs.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

I have seen a few that are combined Auto/Air - I just want to avoid spending the money on another inverter when I already have a few...

Thanks! That is what I am looking for! Searched all over the net but never found one that was not part of a more expensive set.

I like Boxwave because their stuff is practical in good quality and area where there is a lot of junk out there. Then again, I sometimes feel like I've paid too much, (particularly after a trip to Hong Kong).
