12-volt car adapter

1. JohnOK - 12 January 2008

   I'm seriously considering replacing my Windoze based Dell laptop with a MacBook. One of the things I do with my laptop is use it as a navigation device while driving my RV back and forth across the country. I have a 12- volt adapter that I plug into the 12-volt accessory socket to keep the laptop perking along for the 8 to 10 hours I'm on the road each day.

   I see that Apple offers a product, Magsafe-Airline-Adapter, for powering the Macbook while flying but Apple warns against using this product in a car.

   So, are there third-party 12-volt car power adapters for the Macbook?

   Consider getting a small 12V to 117VAC converter, which will probably be somewhat less expensive. That'll run not only the Mac, but other useful items as well.

   Google. "Magsafe car adapter". HTH. HAND.

   There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one.
