    Hi all, this is my first day joining Notebookreview, and of course, I already have a question in mind...

    I just got my A8Jp from Newegg last week, a fresh installation of WinXP Pro was done, no problem..

    Here's what I was wondering, which auto/air/wall-outlet power adapter could I get for this brand new lappy? I can't seem to find one with 19V, 90W capable anywhere.. and yeah, i've tried Ebay..

    I hope you guys could help, thanks in advance.
    cheers

    Thanks for your quick response, however, I do see a problem, the Kensington 120W adapter's output is up to 16V only, the Asus A8 requires 19V input. on the other hand, wattage is not an issue..

    Thanks

    Well, there's got to be people who had the same problem and have found the solution already...

    I'm wondering now, does this thing exist in the power adapter world?

    19V, 90W+, Air/auto/wall outlet notebook power adapter?

    cheers

    Try radio shack and if not that you might need a convertor to change the wattage and then use a notebook power adaptor
