Customer Reviews
Works very poorly. Not powerful enough.
This product was provided for me by my company. Even though I did not buy it, I still I had to call in some favors internally in my company to get it approved by my manager. I hoped that this would be easier to carry by eliminating multiple power adapters on business trips and thereby make me more productive. I do have the correct power tips for everything and the adapter does work, sort of. Targus claims this is a 90W power supply. However, it just barely meets the power requirments of my laptop. If you do not plug in everything in the right order and keep your fingers crossed and say a little prayer it will fail. I called my company tech support and Targus tech support and they said that is the way it is supposed to work?! For example, if you have it plugged in charging and running the computer and the turn on the CDROM the spike in power usage will cause it to overload. The overload protection in the device is way too sensative. AND it does not have enough power to charge my extended life battery only the standard laptop battery. In DC mode it only has enough power to charge the battery with the laptop off. I have used the adapter with HP and Dell computers and had the same results with both. I would not recommend this product to anyone! If you need an AC/DC power adapter spend the extra money and buy the OEM model. Dell's AC/DC power adapter (which is actually made by Sony) works great.
Should have gotten the one with AC power as well.
I wish now that I had gotten the next one up that included the AC power adapter in addition to the auto/air. It comes with a nice travel case to keep those unwieldy cables in check. One of the reasons why I regret not getting the all inclusive kit was the travel case, this way I could have a nice lightweight portable kit and keep the OEM on at home.
Happy I read the reveiws
Read all the reveiws on the Targus product. Just wanted to thank everyone. I dceided to stay away from this charger. Dont need the risk nor the headaches.
