I'm a mobile computing enthusiast. I have been a fan of Dell laptops; a range is available from widescreen desktop replacements to ultraportables ideal for backpacking. A couple of early purchases were able to share common chargers. Within our family we now have a variety of types and I'm dissapointed that standardisation on chargers is no longer one of Dell's priorities with a variety of connectors and standards evident. My suspicion that this is at least in part a strategy to boost the computer manufacturer's profits seems to be confirmed by the fact that the latest offerings will only work when connected to the matching genuine Dell charger. If one wants a DC 12v charger in addition to a mains charger for all products, the number and cost soon add up!
THE SOLUTION IS HERE. For less than a third the price of one Dell 12v charger, this inverter supplies up to 300W of AC power through the standard UK socket on the front panel. The device seems to work perfectly. Like all Belkin products I have tried it seems well made.
I have restricted its' use to travel time, so I'm not sure how fast it will deplete the car battery without the engine running. There is a safety system to cut the inverter off when the car battery drops too much, but I don't know if this would leave adequate charge for starting without damaging the battery plates. The device is a little too hefty for regular carry, but ideal for keeping in a vehicle, we keep one in each car.
I can thoroughly recommend it as a good value means of charging or powering light mains electrical equipment.

Belkin AC Anywhere - 300W DC/AC Power Inverter
This Item to me, has to be the best on the go adaptor i have purchased so far, and believe me, i have gone through a few in my times, ranging from simple converters with extension heads, which was not only fiddly but losing the heads we're a major factor in them not being in my top ideal list.
This item however... Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Plugged it into cigarette lighter, and within seconds i was running my laptop with complete ease and effort. Had the unit running non stop for almost 12 hours, and even the fan running in background, was very low... and hardly noticable. Also, noticed i could use this item without even having to run my enguine, which was great too. ok admittedly i wasnt in a car, but in a mini bus, but this running 12 hours with the bus stationary for almost all of that time, didnt even have a single hinderance when it came to starting the enguine, so I for one, am very impressed with this item, and worth the price all day long!
excellent product December 25, 2009

This product is excellent.Well made and stylish.Charges my laptop on the move everyday.The only thing you have to remember is to plug it in after starting the engine as the electrical surge seems to blow the fuse.

Great product does exactly what it promises, a bit more expensive than other makes, but the extra build quality is obvious and well worth it. Only slight downside is that fan noise is a bit obtrusive.

Bought this for kids to run a laptop and watch dvd's on a road trip to French Alps over Xmas, brilliant, plugged it in and off it went.
Nice solid feel to it, well made and fairly robust.
Highly recommended!
