Recently on woot.com they had the iGo everywhere15. I like the concept of reducing the amount of stuff I carry so I picked one up. Recently on woot they had an iGo EverywherePower 7500 so I picked up one of those too.

iGo has a slogan on their literature, One adapter for all your devices. They advertise that all you need to do is get the different tips and plug into anything (as long as the adapter has enough power to run it). When I put the two iGo devices together I discovered that the tips have different connectors so I can't plug the ones from the 15 watt unit into the higher watt unit. Heck not even the power cords are the same.

Are the other brands of power adapters this exasperating? Do the Kensington tips fit all of the Kensington units?

I have one of the kensingtons, and I haven't had a problem with tips yet. I also like that it is thinner, and I think doesn't run as hot.

One thing to be aware of, I got the 120W version, which supports a "normal" power plug and car adapter. The connector for car adapter (and airline adapter) is different from the one for a standard power juck, but the unit I have just has another port on the side for those. Not really a problem, just something to be aware of. Make sure you get a version that supports normal power and the car adapter. I think they all do anyway.
