    Can anyone recommend a good Auto/Air adapter ? I have looked at the Targus and the Kensington adapters and none seem to work. :confused:

    Currently they are not available on Lenovo's site... not sure if they will be in the future either but you can get the same one at Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=34-995-035 or you can get a universal one from iGo (you have to order a special tip from them for the Lenovo)

    So ... is anyone using one of these ? Also isn't the tip different on a T61 vs T60 ? And does it have to be a 90W adapter ? ( Because I have a 70W Targus one for my HP laptop and thought I could just get a new tip )

    Are you going to be using your laptop in the car? If you are, then just get a power inverter and plug it into your cigarette lighter. Around a 100 watts should do the trick.

    This is what I do. It works great. And, it's a lot cheaper than buying the manufacturer adapter.
