Hi,



I just realised that i've burned out my second charger, sigh.

U know where the little cord goes in the adaptor, if the wire get's strained, it breaks just there where i can't solder it anymore.

I believe this is a weak point. It is a portable and it travels.

I'd like to see a more sturdier(durable) built adaptor.



Any alternatives for my powerbook?



Thanks for any recommendations, I need my book a lot, especially since it is my holidays.

    I'm looking at this



    (if that link doesn't work go to http://store.apple.com/ and click on the "iGo Juice" under staff picks in the bottom right)



    but it is a bit expensive... the plus side is that it will work in cars AND planes in addition to the wall...

    Seems nice,



    yes it's expensive, but hey a new apple adaptor costs little less and if that juice thing is built better, then we would be better off without the apple adaptor.



    What I've noticed: the apple adaptor delivers 24V DC as where the juice adaptor delivers 16V DC, does this mean it will charge slower? Would this be better or worse for my battry?

    Also are there plugs included for a powerbook if I order from apple? On the juice-site it says that i have to order plugs apart.
