Morning Squidussion

Everyone welcome Nick back from his unusually busy vacation. The poor soul just wanted some rest and relaxation, but no matter where he went--the Orient express, an English manor house, New York, a sleepy Maine fishing village--murders and mysteries were abound. He ended up spending his time dashing around questioning suspects and searching for clues rather than burning to a crisp and wearing straw hats daubed with amusing slogans as he should have been. Bless his little white cotton socks.

Awesome product. I have been kicking this thing's ass for the last week or so, draining it 100% and then going to 100% charge and taking a brand new 15" macbook pro from 0% charge all the way to 100% with full brightness and everything on (airport, bluetooth connected to a cell phone, etc) WHILE running electric sheep at full blast the entire time...

3 hours for full charge of the laptop, then an extra 7 hours of charge on top of that until the laptop switched back over to it's own battery. 4 hours to recharge the unit completely from 0%

Bad ass. I just ordered 3 more. This thing rocks for you Mac road warriors out there, this is the device for you. Charge it up, slip it into the seat pocket in front of you on the plane, and do whatever you want with your laptop for the duration of your flight. Whoooo!
