I haven't tried this in several years, and I know the Boeing 787 is a relatively recent addition to American's fleet. Does anyone know if what they've got on these planes is an improvement over the old power ports? Or should I be prepared to just use the laptop for a few hours before it conks out, like my past experiences? Thanks!
