    I've just found this : http://www.tekkeon.com/products-mypowerall.html

    That's great but from what I read on their website, it looks like it has to be fully recharged before you can connect it to your laptop computer. This means that you still have to carry your power adapter with you when you travel.

    What I'm looking for is a laptop charger that can serve as a power adapter too.
    Something that can be connected to the grid at the same times it charges your laptop.

    Does such a device exist?

    Thanks for the help :)

    I don't think so.
    Because you have to buy new batteries after you buy a different notebook.
    Plus, an external charger can charge more devices than your notebook alone.

    I'd love something like the device from the link, but with a capacity somewhere around 10x as high. If it weighs as much as the laptop it's powering and increases the runtime by at least 5x, I'm happy...
