only works intermittently because of loose connections [Posted on 2008-09-19]
There are at least three point where the adapetr is constantly coming unplugged from itself. It comes loose where the cord from the wall power meets the adapter, where the cord going to the computer or whatever comes out of the adapter, and where the cord going to the product to be charged meets the little conversion plug. If it comes loose at any of the last two areas, the adapter SHUTS DOWN, and you have to unplug it from the wall and plug it in again. Just fixing the loose connection doesnt work.
junk.
there are much better adapters out there for the same money, go buy one.
Don't waste your money. [Posted on 2008-09-28]
Don't waste your money on this product. Not even at the discount price is this product worth the time, effort or shipping. As a professional electronics designer I can say this product is worst quality at any price. My wife purchased the item as a quick replacement for failed original equipment. It lasted about three months then failed due to internal electrical short. Well, I dissected the cable to find very low quality materials. The insulation on positive lead split causing short to a braided ground wire. The ability for this product to pass UL is highly questionable. Buyer beware!
Great Product. [Posted on 2008-10-12]
I don't know why people gave this product such a low rating. I just order one a week ago and it has been working great. I was a geek squad agent for Best Buy,and they use Targus chargers all the time. It always works great and I have not seen it fail yet. I guess people gave it a low rating because it did not work with their device. All you have to do is go to Targus website to check to see which adapter is right for you.
I received the product within a week and all the parts were there. Although, I expected the product to be in plastic casing since it was suppose to be new. But other than that, I was very satisfied of what I got. This APA10US Targus universal adapter is fairly small and has long cord, up to 9ft.
I was a bit worried on purchasing this product at first after reading people's review. But now after receiving the product, I will definitely recommended it if you have first check to see if this product will work for your laptop.
A good buy [Posted on 2008-10-28]
I purchased this product a few months ago and found that it does what it is designed to do. My only draw back is that it did not come with the tip that provided the full power that allowed battery recharging for my laptop (apt35us) and that had to be purchased separately. Other than that it came in a nice carry pouch with all the other useful stuff that allows you to power your laptop from the car and such like.
I suggest before you buy, you use the Taragus site to make sure that it works with your system and check the tips that are included to see if you need to buy any additional tip to get full power. It certainly was a good buy for the money I paid.
Completely awful power supply [Posted on 2008-10-31]
This is an awful product and I don't recommend anyone buy it. First off, it wouldn't charge my battery, so I couldn't charge it up and take it anywhere. I was stuck using my laptop plugged in at all times. The worst part though was that the power supply was constantly turning itself off. Any time I would move the computer, even the tiniest bit, the light on the power pack would go off and I'd lose power. This happened every time I used the cord. Sometimes I would be lucky and the cord would work for a couple of hours, other times it would work for 2 seconds. The worst part was that once it turned itself off it would refuse to work for at least a few hours. This product is a piece of garbage. DO NOT BUY THIS POWER ADAPTER.
