    Can someone tell me what the "stick" adapter is good for?
    Is it just smaller for my Z-series, or does it also charge faster?
    Thanks

    It's just smaller and more portable - the lead that goes in the pc folds into the stick and is much shorter than on the normal ac. Comes in a neat vaio Velcro sealed case. Charge time difference - who knows, no different I would say. Gets hotter than normal ac probably due to size.

    It actually does one thing quite well... burns $100 dollars in quicker than you can say "stick".
    Absolute waste, I purchased mine as one of the two accessories so I can get the 15% discount. I returned it for a refund because:
    1. Not signifcantnly lighter than the conventional charger
    2. The adapter to computer cord is really short; not ideal for many reasons
    3. Not worth the price.

    Yea, I saw one today. Not too practical if you are using this on your lap...what's the supply supposed to do? Dangle?
