There are several ways to make the APC unit work with a laptop that draws more than 75W. One way is to replace the fuse with a higher powered one. Therefore the "blow" feature does not activate. Another is to remove your battery, this lowers your computers powerdraw. Another is to adjust your bios so that they require less power most "big" laptops have this possibility.</font>

I am intrigued with this -- I recently got a new Dell (5100) and preparing for a US-UK AA business-class flight and I cannot find an adapter for this heavy 90w laptop. Im not sure how the BA v. AA power outlets are different. But, I think this would work for any application???
