Apple MacBook Pro MA938LL/A 85-Watt Laptop Power Adapter
Customer Review: Fake
Despite the amazon product page claiming it is an Apple product ("see other products by Apple" and the use of the original Apple part number) the product is not made by Apple, it is a very cheap knockoff. The unit I got was dirty/used, it did not appear new though it did have plastic reminiscent of the Apple stuff stuck to it. The power plug (shown in the inset) doesn't fit well on the unit. The little ears do not latch down, they just sort of flop around. The cord is very thin compared to the real Apple product. The mag-safe plug doesn't appear to fully mate with the MBP (17") but it does make contact and apparently charges. The light stays on after you disconnect it from the MBP unlike the Apple adapters. Assuming it doesn't explode my MBP, burn the house down (it does not carry the UL stamp), or leak a lot of RF noise (it is not FCC certified either despite a misleading sounding FCC like warning stamped on it) its probably fine for stationary use (mechanically its so flimsy I wouldn't want to take it on the road). Its gotten a lot hotter than the Apple adapter in the hour I've had it plugged in but otherwise is functional.

Customer Review: too bad
Don`t buy it!!! It worked only one hour. I am trying to return it.

Great deal if you need extra power supplies for Dell Vostro Notebooks. Less than 1/3 of what Dell charges for a power supply. Excellent service by seller.

Targus Universal Wall Power Adapter for Laptops/Auto/Air
Customer Review: Can't Live Without It If You're A Road Warrior
I fly AA and they have power hubs for dc charges under most of the seats. Working the whole flight and de-planing with a fully charged laptop is absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended, but just make sure it is the right one for your laptop on Targus's site!
Customer Review: Forgot our laptop power supply on our trip, this was a great stand-in
While vacationing in summer 2007, we forgot to pack our Dell's laptop power supply. After making a call to Dell customer support for how to best get one that day, they recommended we go to a retail electonics store. We stopped at Best Buy, saw this model (~$) and bought it after we got their assurances that we could return it immediately if it didn't work out. Back in the rental car, we opened it up, saw the Dell's model number listed in its multi-page compability charts, plugged it into the cigarette lighter and the laptop, and all worked as promised. PLUSES The niceties are that with this product there are both AC and DC input cables. While the AC plugs into the wall, the DC has ends that plug into the cigarette lighter as well as an In-Air converter (which we've never used). After getting home, we were also pleased that among the other laptop tips, there were ones that also work with our IBM ThinkPad and HP Pavilion laptops. (Tip: We used a label maker to label the tips with the corresponding devices we use.) We now use this at home to charge one of the laptops that travels between home and office. It's also handy when traveling with multiple laptops since you just bring this one charger and multiple tips, though we'd have to take turns charging. MINUSES Although the instructions inside indicate you can buy an optional Digital Device Adapter to plug into it, advertised to charge your cell phone, MP3 player, digital camera, or PDA, there are no tips available for our Samsung Blackjack cellphone (which we would have expected) or our Sony Cybershot camera (which we did not expect). They do make iPod adapters. See for the available tips. OVERALL We are pleased with this purchase, even though we felt it was rather expensive. I would have given this 5 stars if it they made tips to handle our non-notebook devices.

LAPTOP AC POWER ADAPTER CHARGER FOR HP COMPAQ 18.5V 4.9A QUAD TIP ZV6000 R4000 394211-001 374429-001
According to the product description, this is a replacement power supply for my HP zv6000 laptop. Unfortunately, my laptop will not work with this particular power supply. The problem could be with my computer, but I tend to think it isn't putting out enough juice. I've ordered an adapter that specifically mentions the 120 watt output. That said, I placed my order on Friday and received the product the following Wednesday - nice job.
Customer Review: Functional Power Supply
I just received this power supply and it works! There are two minor flaws (in my opinion) with this power supply: 1) No LED indicator showing that the power supply is plugged in. 2) The power cord is shorter than the original HP power cord. Neither of these two issues keep this item from working and at half the price of an HP branded replacement you can't go wrong.
