Excellent Power Pack, but ..

The Kensington Power Pack is very Good. It does have 1 drawback that is easily overcome, namely the short wire to plug into an AC outlet. But, I do not consider that a problem. There is one thing to be cautious about. When using it on some airplanes, the power supply shut down. I suspect this is perhaps the airplane's DC power supply unable to supply sufficient power to the Power Pack. It's happened twice to me. On all other occasions, it's worked flawlessly. I'd still recommend this to any road warrior.

I use this with my laptop (a thinkpad), my cellphone (treo), and my iPod. It does everything it's supposed to, and extra tips for are both less expensive and easier to pack than entire travel chargers, as I used to bring.

As others have complained, the short cord from the transformer to the all outlet is odd. Also, given the modular design of this thing, you would think Kensington would sell versions of that cord designed for different sorts of international outlets. As it is, I sometimes need to bring several outlet adapters along, in addition to the K33197. As the adapters never sit in the wall very well, and the transformer ends up hanging from them via its super-short cord, it often pops out of the wall unless I prop it up on a pile of books, or hang it from the arm of a chair with the loop of velcro intended to help control the cable for packing. It works, but it's not elegant.

On balance, I am pleased with it. With a bit more polish, it could have been a lot more useful for international travelers.

Also, why no Apple Macbook tip?

Kensington Universal Notebook Power Adapter

What a terrific item! I travel constantly, and this unit works quite nicely. It automatically switches voltages depending upon what is plugged into it and what it's being powered by. I've used mine in wall receptacles in the US, Mexico, and Europe without problem. Of course, you need appropriate adapter plugs, but it converts the voltage for you. It also works well when plugged into automobile or airplane power ports. Its slim, lightweight design is also welcome in my already full carry on bag.

Kensington Auto/Air Adapter

The unit works great with everything except the new Sony Vaio that I bought for this trip. When I contacted Kensington, sure enough, even though Vaio is listed on the tips available, you have to look at the fine print, because there are certain models not covered. So now I have a brand new adapter that I can't use.
