I find having a spare laptop power supply is very useful. I can leave one packed up in my laptop bag and another plugged in in my regularly work environment. Then when I need to pick up and go I can just grab the laptop and stick it in the bag. No need to pack up the power supply. Convenient, especially if doing so means crawling under a desk to unplug it, then fishing the cable out, etc. But spare OEM power supplies can be expensive, and if you switch laptops you invariably have to buy another one.
So today’s Sellout.Woot! deal may be of interest. They’re offering a refurbished iGo Universal 90-Watt Slim Notebook AC Adapter for only $17.99 + $5 S&H. And it comes with eight different tips:
- 701 for Acer, Compaq, HP
- 702 for Dell
- 703 for Compaq, HP
- 704 for IBM, Lenovo
- 705 for Asus, Compaq, HP
- 706 for Several Brands including Fujitsu, Gateway and Toshiba
- 707 for Acer, Gateway
- 709 for Sony
These were $79.99 new, and iGo sells this same refurbished unit for $49.99. I found a vendor selling them on Amazon for $22.99 + $5.49 S&H, so this is still the better deal.
