Hello,
Every year I go on holiday to USA which consists of me going to airport via train or coach, waiting around in an airport and then finally an 8 hour flight there! To help stop me from getting bored I had PCSpecialist build me a gaming laptop! Now this laptop is a bit of a beast and can be power hungry, on battery alone when playing a game (on full performance) it won't last longer than an hour. Naturally when I am on long journey's I do use power saving options, lesser graphics etc.
Sadly, I find on the coaches, trains and planes the plugs they provide don't work for my laptop! So what i'm hoping is some way to have portable power to keep my laptop charged for longer! I've had a look at some power banks that have the option for a plug so I can plug my laptop into it. However these seem to be limited to no more than 200W. I'm no electrician, but I know the AC Adapter provided for me is 230W AC Adapter, which is more than 200W! Any suggestions for portable power banks (need to be travel friendly) That one can take both on a coach and a plane? Or any other suggestions that could be used to prolong my laptop usage (outside of adjusting the laptop settings/not using laptop)
Thanks
Scottie
