Every once in a while you find a product that really makes your life easier. I travel all the time and I used to carry all sorts of power adapters. I tried the Targus AC/DC adapter but it was far too heavy, did not work with my Dell work computer, and did not have all the tips I needed. I finally found this product. I power my Dell laptop, Toshiba laptop, blackberry, cell phone, dvd player, and psp now with this one device (not at the same time of course), on plane, from the wall, or in the car. Two of my co-workers have purchased this since they saw mine. My only wish is that they would make an elbow tip adapter to make the tips take a right angle leaving the device being powered. I don't mind the short wall cable because it saves weight, but yes it does make it hang out of the wall plug sometimes.

This adapter is amazingly slim, which is perfect for my laptop case! There are a variety of tips included, and best of all, if the package is missing a tip for your machine, you are entitled to one free tip from Kensington! I have a Dell XPS m1210 which requires an N19 tip which wasn't included, so I gave them a call and a week later, got it free in the mail. Can't ask for more.

This is a thin (relatively large foot print) attractive unit which can be used to power many different devices via the "smart-tip" adapter. The unit runs quite warm (hot) from the AC supply, but seems to me, to run much cooler from a DC supply (which is my primary mode). As stated in other reviews, the AC cord is so short that I use an extension cord rather than let it hange from the wall outlet as suggested by Kensington. The unit powers my Toshiba with no problem (just give the unit plenty of space to radiate the heat). The only down side for me is that a "smart-tip" is not available for my digital camera (would have been a nice added use). Kensington web site indicates smart-tip adapters available for Sony digital cameras only. I am happy with this product. Check the Kensington web site for smart-tip availability for all your current devices.

I also bought this for my Dell M1210, just before a trip from the US to Japan. It powers and charges my laptop just fine, plus it is lighter and thinner than the Dell power brick. It doesn't get noticeably hot, either even after many straight hours of operation on the plane. The smarttips are a bit expensive, but they work just fine and are worth the investment.

Aside from the price, the one negative point is the short plug connecting the adapter to the wall outlet, which leaves the adapter dangling in most cases. other than that, however, this is a great travel adapter.
