[QUOTE="Rimmer, post: 924663, member: 44647"] That Apple store Kensington invertor is 150watts and that Ebay one is 85watts. I believe the MBP requires 85watts so it's essentially underspec'd as far as specifying electrical devices is concerned. I'm not saying it wont work, but it's clearly doesn't have any headroom. It's not exactly that much cheaper so i'd personally go with the name brand that has a reasonable history (and almost twice the current capabilities) any day of the week. There is also the option to get a standard DC-AC invertor from an electrical supplier although they are often unsightly and larger than you may want. [/QUOTE]
