    Antec NP-100 notebook power adapter





    Testing and Conclusion
    I've been using the Antec NP-100 for a bit more than a week now with my Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook. My Inspiron 6000's adapter supplies 19.5V to my notebook and unfortunately the NP-100 doesn't feature this setting so I had to choose between 19V and 21V.

    I decided to go for 19V as I didn't want to overvolt the notebook too much. I used my notebook for a couple of hours a day with the NP-100 and couldn't spot any stability problems. Depending on the notebook adapter you're currently using the NP-100 may be able to charge your battery more quickly and efficiently but to be honest I couldn't really spot a huge difference.

    One important reason why you should considering buying the Antec NP-100 instead of a new notebook adapter from your notebook manufacturer is the price. The NP-100 is a lot cheaper than most adapters sold by notebook makers. A new adapter from Dell for my notebook would cost me about 65EUR while the NP-100 can be found for less than 50EUR.

    The Antec NP-100 does the job and works exactly as advertised. If you're looking for an extra notebook power adapter or a replacement for your current one I definitely recommend this product.

    The Good Stuff
    - Can be used with many notebooks
    - Relatively cheap

    The Bad Stuff
    - You have to be careful that you don't feed your notebook the wrong voltage.

    I give the Antec NP-100 a 9/10.
