Post #1 asked a question which was easily answerable with even the most rudimentary search.
Post #2 answered that question.
It's amazing that such a long thread could develop after that, for no apparent reason. You just gotta love it.

I'd just like to chime in and confirm that you have every right to confirm.
Let's place a side bet. Of the eventual 120 posts, how many will actually contain useful information? I'm guessing 5. My guess might be high.

oh ye cynical ones: new questions...
how come UA has the regular prong? that works without an adapter/inverter?... Will AA eventually go in this direction(i.e., what about the new J seats?-- still cigarette style?)? I'm sure this has already been covered...but 120 posts is a goal of sorts...thank you ice trojan for your patience...

We are 1/3 the way there.
I thought UA has Empower plugs.
Cows moo. (Actual fact to preserve thread's sanctity).

I hope we all learned a valuable lesson from this thread. We wanted this thread to go to 120 posts. Everything was rockin' along just great, until ricktoronto posted a fact, which killed the thread. C'mon everyone: TEAMWORK! Let's get that 120! And remember .. No More Facts!

I have a Dell 700m that draws 65 watts and use an APC inverter that I picked up at CompUSA a few years ago for about $50. As my battery will go 4-5 hours, about the only time I use it now is for long haul flights to Europe (destined there in the a.m. and have it along). I used it for a Toshiba the first two years, and the last two years with the Dell, and never a problem. I did a quick search and here's a link to see what it looks like:

Most of the problem posts we've seen about AA power ports seem to relate to laptops that draw more than 75 watts. Have you checked to see what your Dell needs?
