    HI everyone,
    I just ordered the Kensington 120 Watt Notebook AC/DC Power Adapter ( 33197) for my Sony SZ.
    On their site, they don't list which tip is compatible with the SZ. DOes anyone happen to know which tip I need?
    I was also wondering, if anyone is using the Kensington adapter wth their SZ?

    Thanks
    Terry

    There are a couple here with the kensington adapter. My only complaint is that I wish the smart tips came in a 90 degree flavor. The way it is now leaves abouta 3" solid piece sticking straight out the back where it plugs into the SZ.

    Yeah, its annoying...

    However, what I find cool is that one day Kensington could release a 90 degree tip, whereas if this adapter was all solid you couldn't have that...

    Moreover, I think that the 120 Watts, AC/DC car / plane adapter, thin profile and exchangable tips more than make up for the lack of 90 degree tips.

    Agreed. I really like mine. A 90 tip is all I would change...well, they could always make it smaller ;)
