    I have two devices (motorola lapdock) which use a 19V 1.58A 30W adapter over a 3.5mm / 1.35mm plug. Is there a way to charger both from a single AC adapter? And I also have a Lenovo T420, that uses an also 19V adapter @ 65W. There are 135W Lenovo adapters which could, in theory of course, power all three. Would that be possible, somehow?

    You'd have to break out the soldering equipment to split the output of the adapter, splice new plugs into the cord, and you'd need measurement equipment to make sure you get the plug polarity right (or you'll burn up components).
