 Performance doesn't meet specs August 30, 2010
Gregory Warren (Santa Fe, NM USA)
I purchased this inverter because the performance specs were 150 watt continuous and 300 watts peak. I was attempting to run a 120 watt laptop. The inverter worked for about 1 1/2 hours on a plane when the laptop was in power saving mode (~90 watts). I then plugged it into my car to test if it would handle 120 watts by pushing on the graphics card. It would not. The inverter switches off and on causing the laptops power management to have serious problems. Towards the end of the car test (~30 minutes) it would no longer recharge the laptop battery and was starting to make a horrible noise. Prior to this purchase I tested a Duracell 813-0291-07 175 Watt DC to AC Pocket Power Source Inverter which wouldn't handle the laptop on a plane (in any mode) but would in the car. I'm I am ready to give up on inverters for a while.
From a design perspective the Cobra is nicer than the Duracell.
 the perfect solution for a frequent traveler May 2, 2010

I travel frequently by air, connecting my laptop to a 12-volt seat power outlet on long flights. In the past, I had purchased combination AC-DC power adapters from the manufacturer of whatever laptop I owned. Recently, after I purchased a new laptop for which such an adapter was not available, I explored power inverters as an alternative.
After extensive comparisons on Amazon and elsewhere, I decided on this inverter, and have been very happy with it. It runs reliably and noiselessly; it takes up very little space in a computer bag; and it could even be used with a "splitter" in a car if one wanted to run multiple devices or charge a phone while running a laptop.
Be sure that you get this precise model, because Cobra has other models that look almost the same, and for which even the same file photo may be used.
Great product that really works! January 27, 2010

this is a fabulous product for your computer (mine is a tablet computer that needs a bit more power) in the car or on an airplane. Easy connection that will accept a 3 prong plug. Also has a USB so you can charge your phone as you are charging your computer. Perfect.
Worked when other adapters didn't! December 2, 2008

Get this adapter for your laptop! I tried two other adapters and they failed to support the load on my Sony Vaio Z series laptop adapter. Plus it comes with a nice little case and has the airline adapter. There are two fuses - one in the tip and one in the adapter to help keep things safe. Highly Recommended!
