Great Product - Compact Size

Great product. I love the compact design. My only wish is that it came with a micro usb tip. Finding it difficult to locate some of these.
Pros: compact size, multi functional
Cons: no micro usb
I would recommend this to a friend!

Smart phone sized charger, road warrior's dream.

The good:
This is the best lightweight charger that I have seen and I would buy it again. I love the flip AC plug rather than having to constantly coil/uncoil the power cord. The supply It is about the size of a smart phone.

The bad.
Nothing is perfect, here is what needs to be improved. There are no gaming connectors for this supply. There are over 144 Million Nintendo DS and DSi sold, this will not charge them. I still have to lug the chargers for the game machines when I travel with my kids. The documentation that came with the supply shows a picture of a PSP, however there is no way to charge it. Being so small the unit does get hotter than my OEM supply. I would expect this there is no way to design around this problem. When I unplug the supply from the back of my laptop the adapter comes off instead of the power jack. I would be nice if the adapters could be locked to the cord.

Pros: no ac power cord, the size of a smart phone, light weight, both ac/dc capable
Cons: no nintendo ds adapters, no nintendo dsi adapters, no psp adapter, no case
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome - can charge two devices at once

This is the best laptop charger I have used yet. You can use it in the car/airplane (DC) and at home/office (AC) Small, light, thin, swivel plug (AC) with dual charging heads. You can charge two devices at once. The kit comes with a number of adapter heads but if the one you need is not in the kit - Targus sends it to you at no cost. You don't have a to purchase a new charger everytime you change a device - gotta love that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good idea... bad execution

Simple. Nice ideas, badly done.
DC Charger tip shattered on me twice - once in the socket on an airplane.
Transformer block has a built in plug that has difficulty fitting in tight spaces (like many board room table power slots) and has a hard time staying plugged into edison style seat power outlets on planes.

Tips are constantly seperating from the cord.
Pros: dual device charging
Cons: badly designed ac adapter brick
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Product - Mostly
on November 11, 2011

from Chicago, IL
Great product for the traveler who doesn't want to lug around one or more manufacturer's full size charger, but the tips are flimsy. My Dell #109 tip kept coming off of the cord, and now the plastic has split and broken. That has caused some kind of short and burning smell. It will have to be replaced.
Pros: size
Cons: tips
I would recommend this to a friend!
