Lightest-weight high-quality power supply for X61??

#1 Post by Edward Mendelson » Wed Aug 11, 2010 1:56 pm

Does anyone what is the lightest-weight (or at least notably lightweight) power supply available for the X61 series? The machine seems to require 65 watts. Having seen some low-quality units out there, I'd prefer to get a Lenovo-branded one, but any really high-quality alternative would be good to know about.

Any suggestions would be welcome - and I imagine that other people will find this information useful too.

Lenovo's own 65W adapter is pretty light, and it is the lightest Lenovo-branded unit you'll find, I believe. At 345 grams (with the AC power cable), is it really too heavy?

It isn't too heavy at all - but every ounce helps. I'm glad to hear that I probably don't have to spend money to get anything lighter than what I've got. Thanks!

The lenovo wall/ auto / air travel adaptor. Its freaking small and thin.. love looking at the size of it. At the outlet prices, I wish I'd bought two :)

I've handled both the Ultraslim model (not the older "Slim" model) and the 65W model. The Ultraslim definitely felt smaller in my hands, and is more versatile (AC/DC-operations). But I'm not sure which is lighter, because my Ultraslim is currently at Lenovo's service center. The Ultraslim felt a bit heavier through. I'll weigh them on my balance once I got the Ultraslim back.

Cheers.

According to Lenovo's specs the Ultraslim is heavier.
