Adapter for cig lighter

2005-07-21 Thread diane
Any recommendations on an adapter to use my iBook in the car? I see 
that Linksys has one that will actually allow you to plug a 2 or 
3-prong plug into it, while others (APC was one that I saw) just 
allows you to plug the ibook into the lighter. The APC one is $40 
while the others were $80.


TIA,

Diane

I have a power inverter for the car which allows me to plug ANYTHING  
into the lighter, not just one computer which will eventually be  
replaced by another.


I just make sure it's unplugged before the car is turned on or off  
(which you should probably do with anything plugged into the lighter).


FWIW

MCE has the best price I've seen.  I've bought two from them and both 
have worked fine.

I prefer the auto adapter as it's more compact than the power 
inverter and AC adapter route. Especially as I use it with a portable 
battery pack sometimes.


However you can buy an inverter for much less than $80.  Drug, 
department, auto part and other stores all carry them for $30-40 or 
so.

Another option is the available from iGo. It includes different plugs  
for AC, auto/boat, and airplane, as well as an assortment of tips  
that can be plugged into a wide variety of laptops. It also offers a  
way to plug in a cell phone charger at the same time.


They have a variety of models and features. I have the Juice 70 and  
have been using it for years.

 I use a 100 watt inverter.  It works both for charging my cell phone 
and using my ibook.
I bought mine at Office Max.  Make sure that the inverter wattage is 
large enough for your computer.

Don
