So, has anyone gotten a power adapter for their laptop? Or for USB devices? Any recommendations? The PC is a Dell D600, and the PDA takes USB or wall outlet.

When I flew to the UK, it was cheaper to buy an additional 4-hour battery for my HP Pavillion ZV5220us than to upgrade the ticket to First Class so I could have power at the seat. Belden makes a power adapter that worked with the outlets in the UK, and my PDA watch recharges from the USB.

Of course today my batteries might be suspected of being a bomb. And they might be...but I don't think they were made by Sony.
