Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this for a nine hour road trip-- I wanted a tool to charge my laptop, so that my kids could watch movies on it during the drive. It was a lightning deal when I bought it, which helped make the decision. For starters, it comes well packaged. It is very intuitive to use, and thanks to the Amazon questions and answers, I knew it would work just fine for my purposes. It's always important to check the wattage you need vs. what your power source can give, and my Macbook Pro Air falls well within it's capabilities. It comes with a power outlet and two USB ports. During the trip, I used the power outlet and it sufficiently kept my Macbook Pro Air charged the entire journey. I also utilized the USB ports to charge my phone (wires not included, so pack your own!) it could handle both tasks. The item itself got a little warm, but has a fan installed so that the unit does not overheat. I found the cord from the jack to the unit long enough to let the unit sit in the passenger well floor of the car so that it was out of the way. This is a very handy, compact tool and I find it incredibly useful. Since that trip, I have used it as a charging station while driving, and we took it camping to charge my husband's razor.
