I figured have the laptop to watch DVDs, etc would be nice, but I was just wondering if these seem safe... anyone ever use one?

I have never once had any problem with it. I like to use my laptop because it's a big screen for my kids in the back seat. I would give it a positive endorsement.
ofiba Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I've used one on a couple occasions. Played video games on it and watched DVD's. No trouble for me. Looks almost exactly like the one I used.

I too use it on long trips with the kids so they can watch movies on my laptop. Works great. Just make sure the one you get has enough watts to get the job done.

BuffaloBud Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 What do you do with or what are your going to do with your cell phone? Why not ask the same question for it? (Read) Yes, they are safe.

sweet baboo Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 it works fine...i use one on every long trip on... so my fiance can watch movies while i drive... just make sure your laptop isn't some power hungry monkey (i.e. Alienware) that sucks up more power than the alternator can provide, otherwise if you suck so much that the alternator cannot keep up you will eventually discharge you car battery and your car will die on the road i don't think laptops are really much of an issue for that
stevestojan Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 Did you not get the "Complete Care" warranty? 231321[/snapback] Yeah, 3 years. But explaining that I hooked up my new laptop to a cigarette lighter to a guy named Akmed over in New Dehli doesn't seem like a fun afternoon to me.

Akmed's probably wrong. Something like Haji would be more appropriate.
