[Off Topic] Dumb question from me about Laptops!
 

I have an HP Pavillion ZE4500. Im looking to buy a cheap [ yet one that works ] airplane power adapter.. any suggestions?

I suggest that this is better suited to the Travel Technology forum.

I disagree, as US Airways uses a different type of power adapter (Empower) than other airlines such as AA (cigarette lighter style plug).

Try the Kensington adapter, which should work with your HP. $60 at buy.com.

Thanks Wahoo ;)

Look at the iGo Juice - it works for all types of power ports and all types of computers - check eBay - I got mine for $45.

I bought the Kensington for $40 after rebate a while back. Works great on both AA (cigarette lighter adapter) and cars and also on Empower (UA, US, etc).

I've had em all. I love iGo Juice

the iGo thing works on every airline fits every computer,phone,pda and is small enoughto carry conveniently

since it's not the travel tech forum
 

Gonna move this to where it probably belongs.

Thanks,

Now I'm curious as to which forums this thread has been in, it seems to have been at least two. I wish that FT had a thread history tab where I can see this.

This was posted first on the USAirways forum. :)

I'm not sure iGo juice works on every laptop. They have this thing with you needing to buy iTips which vary from laptop to laptop. (Dell has a ridiculous number of different power tips)

Also Dells sometimes require more power than the juice's slimmer versions (I think one is 75W while some Dells need ~90-100W)
