Igo compatible with Dell Inspiron 700m
Dang. I just got my new notebook and I cannot find the tip that is going to match the inspirion 700m. Does anybody know which is the tip. I am flying United and going to be connecting to empower.
Thanks

I can't answer your question specifically, but I can suggest what you might find.
I have a Dell Lattitude D600. What I found is that:
I had an iGo Juice, but found I needed to get the Dell travel charger. It works as advertised and even accepts the iGo attachments for other types of devices (although not at the same time as charging the PC).
I have a Dell Lattitude D600. What I found is that:
- There is a special link between the Dell laptop and it's charger; if a non-Dell power source is connected, the laptop battery will not charge
- Dell offers a special travel charger (made by iGo) that will support both AC and Empower outlets; essentially it is a Dell-only version of the Juice
- Because iGo provides this to Dell, they do not offer one themselves

Here's the one I got. It lists a bunch of Inspirons, although not the 700m (but I think the 700m is fairly new?).

Apparently Targus has other newer models that work too. The PA-350 has both Empower and 12v dc plugs-- perfect for those AA exit rows. (APC charger works with those and from AC too--wish it matched my Dell. Come on APC, get with it.)

Separate air/car adapter needed for 700m
I just called Dell and ordered an air/car power adapter for my 700m. The 65W adapter listed on the website does not work for the 700m, according to the phone rep. Naturally, the one I needed is even more expensive ($99.95 plus tax and shipping).

iGo support the D600 now.. kinda
iGo now support the lattitude D600 with Tip 20 (juice 70 and ice 70) and Tip S20 (Juice 90 & EverywherePower 7500)
They do specify that this is for notebook powering only
Which is something we will unfortunately see a lot more off as the laptop manufacturers move to 150W bricks
