I am looking at this too for the oldish Dell Laptop that I have. However it
requires 18V at 3.5A (at least that is what the power pack says it can
deliver) and I have been thinking seriously of doing a converter to get to
this instead of going to 230V to drive the power pack.

Yeah, this is where I'm coming from as well. Going to try it out this
weekend on a trip.
