No idea, but I picked one up from Lidl las tonight for £17.

...if that helps. 1 x 3pin plug and 1 x usb outputs.

Handy for lpg set up on the lap top with a low or flat battery, etc. not tried it yet though. :-\

300w be enough for a laptop, or a tv without to much strain
voltagexamps=watts.

The cheap one might be borderline for a proper laptop (but netbook should be OK).

They also do a 300W for £25, which would be better for a lappy.
