Cooler Master SNA95

Zitat: Letzteres gilt auch für das Cooler Master SNA 95. Leider sind beide Cooler Master Geräte nicht von Haus aus mit vielen Dell Notebooks kompatibel. Uns gelang dies nur dank dem be quiet!-Adapter, den man aber nicht einzeln erwerben kann.

Zitat: For: + USB charging + Compact and light + Fits a range of laptops Against: - A bit too pricey at £50

Zitat: The SNA-95 from Coolermaster is a great little adapter that was a life saver in my case. It has ample charging power to support my 17" laptop. The flat design is nice looking and looks better than the stock adapter and many of the other universal notebook adapters out there. I know that looks don´t really mean much when talking about a power adapter, but I hate looking at eye sores. It is as small as it is it is capable of supplying a max of 150 watts with a continuous range of 95 watts. Both being more than what most laptops would need. The addition of the USB charging port is great for those that have IPods, cell phones and other devices in which they do not want to carry all the power adapters for. The SNA-95 has a street price of about $50, putting it in the price range of some of the no-name brands out there. And about $10 cheaper than name brand unit.

Zitat: Pros: + More than just your average notebook power supply + Attractive styling + Easy to use Cons: - Will not charge batteries on all laptops that it will power - Difficult to find, not yet available on the internet All things being equal, I would love to love this power adapter. Charging USB devices as a standalone is great. While it is the smallest 95W power adapter I´ve seen, it´s still a little much to carry around strictly for charging USB devices however.Where this device runs into trouble is in the laptop battery charging. If all I wanted to do was power my laptop, it´d still be a great device. But I often run the battery to near depletion and I have to be able to recharge it. If I were going to replace the OEM power adapter, I can´t settle for one that won´t charge the battery, and I don´t think our readers would either. Let me be clear however, this is not Cooler Master´s fault, this has a lot to do with Dell (among other computer manufacturer´s) and their infatuation with proprietary equipment. That does not change the fact however that it is unable to charge my laptop. If I were a buyer, I´d be forced to return it.One other note, not all USB devices will work with this charger. The vast majority will, but the list cannot be all-inclusive if for no other reason than the sheer number of devices on the market.The SNA 75 has not yet come to market, but it is expected to have a price point of around $70 and carries a 2 year manufacturer warranty.We have added a new scoring system to provide additional feedback beyond a flat score.

Zitat: Good Things: + Total power solution + USB Charging + Replaceable Power Plugs + Slim Design Bad Things: - Some laptop mfgs use unique ID´s so you can only use their adaptors - Only a single voltage option So why buy a universal laptop power adaptor when the OEM unit designed for the system works just fine? Well, as CoolerMaster says "SNA 95 is designed based on the simple notion of providing Total Power Solution not only for laptop users, but most of USB devices, such as mobile phone, smart phone, MP3 and MP4 players, iPod, PDA, and GPS. As the smallest 95W adapter in the world, SNA 95 is offering excellent mobility with its slim design and light weight. SNA 95 is user-friendly, providing convenient storage and cable management with its unique H-shaped reel base and velvet carry bag." You can also look at the additional flexibility associated with having a replacement power adaptor for road trips or as a replacement if you leave the OEM unit on the road someplace.
