Well done Wodders. |

Well done Wodders. The spec for the G7 says 3.5 amps at 19v. What does your laptop require? My Dell says it needs it needs 19v at 4.62 amps (which I find hard to believe) but would make this unit to be inadequate for the job. |

I have a handy Dell travel adapter that is very small, takes any voltage you're likely to find in offices, hotels, cars and planes, it's 60W which was the same as the power brick of the laptop I had at the time. Two laptop upgrades later, each comes with larger and heavier chargers now 130W or more, which I leave connected to docking stations at home and in an office. Dell laptops will accept under-powered adapters (you might get a warning at boot which you override) it can only charge slowly if it's running at the same time, and it threatens to throttle the CPU or switch from the Radeon to the Intel GPU, but typically it takes under 20W in use, so for travel use the 60W adapter is still great. |

It only needs to last whilst I am on the ferry or train, as soon as I get to my cabin or hotel, I can plug into 240VAC again. |

Well done Wodders. The reviews on Amazon say otherwise. One reviewer only managed 105 minutes powering his laptop. |

Why not keep the first one in the car - and then take it with you on your thousand mile daily commute using trains and ferries which necessitated the device? A fool and his (loads of) money are soon parted. If we believe you of course. |
