    I've been doing some preliminary homework on airline seat power converters, and was curious about what experiences people on this forum have had. I threw all power considerations out the window, and ordered one of those swanky 9400's with all the 17"/7800 Go/Ice maker/heated seats options I could afford. Now I'm looking for solutions to stay entertained on those 5 hour flights I take from time to time. I'm sure I'll get around to an extra battery, but thought immediate needs would best be solved by one of those airline converters (if it'll do car lighters too, even better).

    So which of our worldly, mobile adventurers has the scoop on airline power converters?

    Well, the thing is though, unless you fly first class or have an aircraft that's really generous on plugs, you're not going to have access to one. I'd recommend the iGo Juice product though. It comes with auto and airline tips and even comes in a high power model for the 9400. Of course the other benefit is you can charge two things at once.
