It’s getting impossible to make fun of Leo’s gadget choices for Turn the Table Tuesdays. He’s on a roll, but how long can he go for? Anyway, this week he picked the Targus Premium Laptop Charger as his choice. The nifty laptop charger is half the size and weight of the typical AD/DC charger and is about the size of a blackberry. Right now it’s the smallest adapter on the market, so it’s ideal for travel. But wait, there’s more! It can charge two devices at one time! The kit includes 9 laptop tips, one mini-USB tip for cell phones, cameras or other compatible devices and one iPod/iPhone tip. Easily power or charge a laptop and one additional item such as a Blackberry or iPod at the same time. So you have less wires to carry, the charger plugs directly into the wall and the AC prongs rotate 180 degrees, allowing the user to plug the charger into a power strip without blocking other outlets. The prongs also lie flat for added portability. To charge or power multiple devices in the car, the charger includes a portable auto adapter. The thin, lightweight cord packs quickly and easily and includes an elastic band for cable management. The integrated tip storage clips onto the power cord so tips stay with the charger and are readily available when needed. The Premium Laptop Charger also comes with the Tips From Targus Program which supplies users with a free tip for your 2nd laptop and/or cell phone and free tips. $149.99

surely an "Electrically Isolated Inverter" that plugs into the cigarette lighter would be a much better solution...
Now if it had a hard disk built in, or a uro mug, that'd be handy
