    Hello

    I am looking for a real car adapter
    (not an inverter because I don't want to carry a big 300W )

    I did some search but i still don't know which one would fit :

    90W : 90-N6DCG1000

    or

    65W : 90-N10CG1114


    some one could give me a good advice please ?

    :confused:

    thanks

    You might consider asking on the S96 Owner's Lounge. (link in Info Booth)

    If the only difference between the adapters is wattage, then you should be able to choose by looking at the back of your normal adapter. Multiply the max current listed with the voltage, and that gives you the wattage (since we are talking DC here). If it's less than or around 65W, get the 65W, if it's larger, get the 90W.

    Please do not double post, I will delete your message on the S96 Lounge. Thanks.

    If you think those people can help, simply post a link to this thread and ask them to have a look at the issue.

    Well, of course, the power requirement is not the only thing. The adapter also has to (in a first approximation):

    a) supply the same voltage
    b) have a compatible plug with the notebook.

    As long as these conditions are satisfied, I believe the 90W adapter should work.
