Customer Reviews

Super-thin, and works on planes too
Prior to the introduction of this unit in January 2008, Lenovo had a very bulky power supply that would work on AC/Planes/Cars. This unit is exceptionally thin, thinner than the thinist part of the Lenovo X60/61s. With its AC cord and the cord that plugs into the PC, it weighs 14 oz. It comes with 3 tips for different Lenovo laptops. The only thing I wish they had done differently is that cord to the laoptop is thicker (heavier) than it should be (thicker than the cord that is found on the standard non-combo adapter). Compared to the IGo, which is not as wide as this new adapter, but at least twice as thick, this unit is much better. Compared to the thin Kensington, the unit is about the same thickness, but a bit smaller in other dimensions, does not get hot, and has a much longer cord to connect to the AC socket (about three feet), so it is much easier to use in hotel rooms where the Kensington is often hard to plug in. In short, the best combo adapter for your Lenovo computer on the market.

OK, but could certainly be better.
I bought this power cord for the simple reason that I travel alot and wanted something compact that would work on airplanes. This item does an adequate job at these two tasks. However, having to use a extra adapter between the cord and computer causes it to hang way to far off of the back of the laptop. You have to be very careful as it could be broken or knocked off very easily. The extra piece is also less reliable as I have several times had to fiddle with the cord to get a connection. One other problem is that the cord itself is too short for a lot of conference room or office applications. It always seems to come up 12 to 18 inches short of the power outlet.

At this point this power cord is left connected to my docking station in the office. For travel I simply carry the original cord and I bought a bigger battery for working on airplanes. The original cord works better and the size difference is minimal at best.

Unfortunately I can't say that I would recommend this product, especially at this price.

Works as advertised, but does get hot
In normal use as an AC adapter, this unit gets quite warm to the touch. When using it as a DC adapter (in a car) the cigarette lighter connector got very hot and the spring-loaded tip was hot enough to leave a blister.
I seems that the main unit while thin could get less "wide." It's much wider than the standard 90W adapter and longer too. As others have mentioned, the cable connecting it to the laptop is thick and bulky, hard to fold back up and doesn't fit well in the case. One plus is the adapter tips which allows it to charge the T/X/A30/40 series with one and the 60 series with the other.
