I know this isn't exactly PPC related, but I know many of you have laptops and the major bugbear is usually the battery life. This little gadget will certainly help that problem if the prices ever get down to a more realistic price point.

Who knows, maybe it can be used to charge PPC's when you are on a 2 week camping trip in the great outdoors.

That doesn't seem powerful enough.

Doesn't the average notebook run at 70-90 watts?

If so doesn't that mean that the unit only provides 1/2 the power required?

Is it meant to be just a battery extender?
