Juice AC adapter

October 24, 2003 › Sandy McMurray | comment

I went shopping for a second AC adapter for my PowerBook today. Apple's own adapter sells for $130, but the salesman steered me towards the $160 Juice adapter by iGo.

The Juice adapter is a clever little gadget designed to provide power for notebooks in a home, car or airplane. It ships with a dozen different tips to adapt power for many different brand-name notebooks, not just the PowerBook.

iGo also makes PPS -- an add-on accessory for the Juice that can be used to charge cell phones or handheld computers at the same time your notebook is charging.

Obviously, this isn't a comprehensive product review -- so far, I've only opened the package and plugged it in -- but it's a cool little gadget.

Update: Here's a link for those who are asking "Where can I buy this?"
