Customer Reviews:

Decent for travel [Posted on 2007-12-28]
I use this adapter because it fits into my travel bag for my computer. Surprisingly, the size isn't any smaller than the standard adapter. The only advantage is that the adapter's long, narrow profile (1.5" x 1.5" x 8" Approx) fits better into the bag, and the included storage bag keeps the cables together. The cord between the adapter and the computer is too short, keeping the rating at 4 stars. When using the adapter with the computer on your lap there isn't really a good place to put the adapter itself. An additional 6-8 inches on the cord would make this unit perfect.

Lead is too short [Posted on 2008-01-12]
I agree with previous reviews that the lead from the unit to the computer is too short. However, this will not be a problem unless you use the machine as a 'laptop' in its original sense. If it sits on a table, the unit can sit right beside it.

Form and Function, but pricey [Posted on 2008-01-25]
Works well. Is compact. I never end up without my charger because this stays in the laptop bag and the other one stays at home.

But I wish they'd price it less than around $ 90.00.

It looks small, but it's not.... [Posted on 2008-03-16]
This photo is so promising.

Unfortunately, it stops there.

The adapter - in terms of volume - is larger than the stock AC adapter that ships with the Vaio SZ Series. It also weighs more. The only upside is the cord from the computer to the adapter is short and tucks in - but as another reviewer pointed out - this means that you have the AC adapter near you at all times, and not discretely off your lap or desk.

In short, it's much larger than you might expect from the photos.

If you're looking for a cool little AC adapter for travel, this isn't it.

Useless [Posted on 2008-05-19]
Useless due to the very short cable, as others have pointed out.

Even on a table, you need to be able to turn the notebook to show your screen to someone else or you need to move your notebook to the head of the table to connect to the projector.
