if you're a speed freak add an Intel 3500 series SSD to your Haswell system
for a truly Enthusiast class experience
so this will be a little different from most of our unboxings number one we
don't have a box I have already removed the packaging from it so that I could
have a close look at it number two is this is not a computer product but it is
definitely technology related this is the 180 W cup inverter and it does not
to what you might believe watch this it does not take your cup and do this with
it that is actually not the kind of inverter we're talking about but if you
found that terminology confusing don't worry energizers got your back because
also on the box is this thing which has
charge that which I think we can all agree looks like an iPad or pretty much
any other tablet depending on which side of the Apple versus Samsung thing you
happen to sit on uh that thing which looks like probably a laptop although it
could be a really old desktop but they probably don't want you to charge an old desktop because that explode uh in your
that thing which I think we can all agree is a water fountain so pretty much
what it does is it takes the power that comes out of your car out of the
cigarette lighter doodad right here and it turns it into something that your
other devices can use so you get four USB ports Each of which share 2.1 amps
of total available power and you get one standard 120 volt receptacle that you
can use to oh I don't know any number of things you can charge a notebook you can
sit and use a notebook in the car you can you know I don't know I've seen
people run game consoles in the backs of their vehicles mind you that was back
when game consoles didn't consume nearly as much power the device itself runs off
of the car or it can run directly off a battery however it should be noted that
it will decrease the lifespan of your battery to use it constantly and
aggressively and drain the battery of your car very very often in order to use
this device so it's recommended for you know when you have the engine running
with that said when you have the engine running or really in any situation it's
not quite a pure sine wave that it's outputting on this particular Port so
you might run into a little bit of interference with things like cheap radios or whatever else the case may be
but most devices particularly modern ones or ones that are taking the power
and then converting it into something that they can use which usually ends up
being DC anyway such as a notebook computer are going to be fine um like
kind of 99 okay I don't want to quote a number but a lot of the time so let's go
ahead and see what you might actually need an out and four USB ports for in a
vehicle now it's funny cuz I'm being a little bit factious and I'm sort of
playing on the whole how technologically dependent our our lifestyles are these
days but the reality of it is I have managed to create a scenario here that
is not completely unrealistic so step
one I've got see I've got four devices plugged in and I've got a laptop plugged
in and this is plugged into the charger here remember guys some Vehicles will
discharge this port even when the car is powered off so the advantage of that is
that you can still run devices even when the car is powered off the disadvantage is it'll run the devices and you might
drain your car battery and then not be able to start it so be careful of that
watch out for that so check this out okay so number one is I have a tablet
this tablet right here even on a 10-hour road trip is not going to run out of
battery when I give it to the kids in the back to watch a movie okay but how
are they going to watch a movie they've only got 16 gigs of storage on that tablet right here guys this is a Seagate
golex satellite this is the last generation the wireless plus is the
current generation one so this is a wireless hard drive that has up to 500
gigs or the new ones have a terabyte of storage boom they're watching their
movies right there okay next up we've got uh this right here so this is my
notebook this notebook right here you can tell from the power brick how much
power it's going to draw so it's 19 volts 3.42 amps it's not really
important to zoom in on that but I do want you to check this out on the super
circuits volts Watts amps converter all you have to do is key in any two values
and that'll give you the other value so this is a 65 wat notebook so we're not
going to be anywhere near the 180 wat limit of this particular device now
there are more powerful ones but this one is designed to fit in a cup holder so it's not exactly going to run your
like you know popcorn maker or something like that all right but how am I going
to work on my notebook if I don't have internet boom now I don't have to worry
about the battery dying on my cell phone even if I have a portable Wi-Fi hotspot
with tethering enabled so I can run that as long as I need to because that is
also charging and then last but not least because we are so depend on having
our devices running all the time I have my fuel plus see it's at 75% this is a
portable battery that I can then take with me when I arrive at my destination
to keep topping up my devices even when I am not in the vehicle so I have there
Justified a usage scenario for five devices plugged in in the car at the
same time now if you guys will excuse me I have some work to do and uh don't

like this in your own car to run all of
your devices all the time because we can't live without them don't forget to
