Powerbook G4 Airline power - rtwdwk - 02-08-2007
Continental flight to Hawaii. 767-400
They have Empower ports. What do I need in order to power my G4 powerbook for the long flight. Any other tips from flyers, most of my flights are usually 2-3 hours so battery works for me, 12 hours to Hawaii, so I am going to need power.

I've had good luck with a Kensington set of adapters for a G4 15" Al Powerbok and an old G3 Pismo. The Kensington comes with a bunch of adapters for ac and car/empower along with changeable tips for various powerbooks. I have used this on several 15 hour flights to Tokyo or Hong Kong just fine. Check the product description to be sure your PBook and Empower are both listed. I think it was under $50 3 years ago, but there must be new versions. Froogle Empower Kensington Powerbook. Aloha!

This looks good for $18.99 and has an iPod connector too: (found it on Froogle)

I like the Kensington 120. Plus, it works for both AC and DC, so you don't have to bring your PB charger. I bought tips for my cell phone, iPod and getting one for my PSP as well.

out of stock now, I think OWC has them for like $70 refurbed.

if you go the Kensington route, and buy one not specifically for Apple products (like the one I mentioned), you'll need to buy the Apple (PB/IB and iPod tips)

Thanks,
I ordered the Apple Kensington one.

12 hours to Hawaii? You departing from the Canary Islands?
