Powers laptops? - Reviewed on 2006-12-26
7 customers found this review helpful, 2 did not.
Our family bought two of these items as Christmas presents, primarily to allow both my son and I to have extended time on our respective laptops. I now know that this power backup device would have have been a stretch for my son's Fujitsu Lifebook that requires a 19 volt input, but I was amazed that it couldn't even provide power backup to my power-miser Compaq Presario. At the time I bought my Presario, just a few months ago, it was the smallest and most energy efficient laptop that Costco had to offer. Now I see essentially the same machine at Costco on the shelf above the "MyPower" rechargeable power device, and I have to say I feel it's a bit disenginuous for the vendor to suggest on their packaging, both with an illustration and words, that their product is the answer to extended battery life for notebook computers.
It's still Christmas day and we've only opened and tried the product today. Since it was a fairly major part of my college student son's presents, I feel let down. I suggest the vendor practice a little more discretion with their packaging, perhaps illustrating the devices it DOES work better with, and maybe even letting the buyer know that it MIGHT work on their laptop. But caveat emptor killed me on this one. I may try to take ours back to Costco tomorrow. I feel badly because I had to break into a nearly impenetrable plastic packaging so it's not going to look like a very pretty return package. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to come up with any other devices in our house that I could use it with, but since I have no reason to doubt that it works well for these other electronics, I decided to give a 2 rating rather than a 1. For me it was a bust, an unecessary bust because I was deceived into the purchase by the misleading packaging. I can't believe I'm the only one who seems to have this particular negative viewpoint on this product.
