    Mine finally shipped from PC Connection. 41N8460. Looking forward to lightening my load.

    Looks like they have additional stock, still said "Ships Today" when I checked a few minutes ago.

    Will post some feedback tomorrow once I've used it a bit.

    The slim adapter is actually heavier than the normal adapter. ;)

    Wow, you're right. How odd. I'm guessing that's the weight of the entire kit, which includes the case, tips, and both the cigarette and air dc adapter cords.

    Slim: Weight: 425 g (0.94 lb)
    Normal: Weight 0.360 Kg (0.79 lb)

    I bought it for the ability to use the adapter in the car with my T6x machines and my wife's T43. The new one has tips and works with both, the old one would have required adapters and the associated $$.

    Ok so it does feel a little heavy. There is a tip for the T4x series, the Y series, and the T6x series. The DC cord is a Air/Auto in one -- the 12V auto adapter pulls off to reveal an Airplane adapter. Pretty nice. The case is kinda cheap, but overall seems like a nice unit. The tips slide on and off pretty easily, but are nice and firm. Powering my 61p at the moment, and everything shows up normal in Power Manager -- "The battery is in good condition. 90W AC adapter is attached." It is decently slim but it is wider than the normal AC adapter. I wish the laptop side of the cord came off as it would probably stow easier.

    Anyway, it works for me....

    Glad to hear it's working out for you. I'll probably pick one up in a couple of months when my game convention season rolls around, so I can power both the phone, the T61p, and whatever else without bringing a pile of different adapters to do the job with.

    Just a word of warning, it came with ZERO adapters for phones... not even a standard mini USB. While it does have a laptop cord and tips for T4/T6/Y series, I was a bit disappointed that a generic mini USB wasn't included. The other cords are pretty cheap, around $10 each, but I haven't found stock on them anywhere yet.

    Hmm...I must have been looking at something else, then, I could have sworn there was some phone adapters added. Ah well, when I get around to where I might get one, stock should be available.
