Digital camera reviews of Targus PAPWR005U Mobile Power Inverter
Digital camera Review: Not beefy enough for my laptop
Summary: 1 Stars
Borrowed my daughter's to test it out before buying one for myself. Plugged my Compaq R4000 notebook in and got about 10 minutes worth of computing done before the inverter's yellow light started blinking and the "shut me down" alarm started chirping. I removed the plug from the cigarette lighter and the metal was hot enough to burn me.
Not recommended.
Digital camera Review: OK, but...

Works as advertised. Now if I could only get airlines to provide coach seats with adaptors I'd be all set.Digital camera Review: Short-lived Joy
Summary: 2 Stars
I successfully used the Targus PAPWR005U power inverter on a 400+ mile trip to power my Mac PowerBook G4 (to watch DVDs) with the kids. Unfortunately it only made the one trip. The next week, on another 400+ mi car ride, the inverter started beeping constantly and then went into shutdown mode, I'm assuming because it was drawing too much power and was overheating. At 90 Watts, the power output matched the power draw from the Mac PowerBook, but didn't have enough umph to spare. I'd caution everyone to check the power rating on their laptop power bricks first before using it with a power inverter. Get an inverter that is at least 1.5-2x the power rating of the device you want to use.Digital camera Review: Take Power with You

This is a good solution that provides options for powering different devices from the car adapter. Use caution; check amp requirements of the device you're trying to power and do not overload the inverter.Digital camera Review: Targus Power Inverter

This item is a wonderful item to have when you are traveling. You can keep your computer on until you get to where you are going. My husband left the old one at our hotel and of course it was lost. This is a great item that all workers who travel should have.
