    Hey, so I recently traded my iPad 2 for an HP Envy 15 (the 5830 model). I love the laptop, except the battery is terrible!!

    Now I don't mind carrying my charger around everywhere, but this thing is big and heavy.

    Do you know which is the lightest laptop charger I can get that would work with the HP. I know some smaller chargers sometimes don't give enough power to charge laptops.

    Any suggestions?

    I use the official HP travel adaptor. It comes with a case and can be used with shorter and longer cables - pretty useful.

    I use the Coolermaster Ultra Slim 95w adapter.

    It's extremely travel-friendly, and conveniently has a USB charging port. However, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend it as it is a bit wonky.

    For some odd reason it does not work if your laptop battery is completely depleted.

    As I travel frequently, I use this more than the factory power brick and I have been using it nearly 2 years now; however, I must always make sure not to allow my envy to drain the battery completely.
