Replacement power for your notebook PC
Trust's Universal Notebook Power Adapter is a very simple product: it replaces your notebook computer's own power supply. That's handy for anyone who's lost or broken the original adapter that came with the computer. The main power brick has a switch to select the output voltage - this can be found on the underside of the computer, or on the original power adapter. It also has two power inputs, using either a mains cable or the supplied car charger, so it's even possible to charge the computer's battery as you drive. The kit includes plenty of plugs for all sorts of notebooks - we couldn't find a recent notebook (made in the last five years) that it couldn't fit. The adapter can also power a USB device at the same time - that means it's possible to plug in an iPod (using the iPod's own charging cable), a phone, a Sony PSP or any other device that charges over USB, and power that at the same time as the computer. There's a list on the Trust website of notebooks and other products that the adapter supports. This versatile power adapter does its job well and is capable of more than just charging a notebook. That means it's an excellent alternative to your notebook manufacturer's official replacement adapter. Vista: n/a
