Summary: NOT Mac compatible
Review: Despite the description, this item is absolutely not Mac compatible. According to APC, "Mac uses 24V DC our travel power case has a maximum voltage of 20V DC."

Just make sure you know what you're buying, only specifically listed laptops are supported.

Summary: Nice Power Adaptor/ Poorly designed case
Review: Well of all the laptop cases I have seen this is the FIRST that doesn't fold open 180 degrees. If you look carefully at the photo you see that all the zippers stop about 2 inches from the bottom of the case. So it is not possible to use the laptop while it is in the case. I thought this was a really neat idea in that all the cord clutter would be contained as the case has an integrated power supply. I was expecting to be able to flip open the case and work with the lower half of the laptop still inside. But since you have to take out the laptop to use it then pull out the power cords it kindof defeats the purpose of integrating the power supply.

That being said the power supply looks to be fairly well designed. I haven't had a chance to try out all 3 power sources (air,auto,home) yet but it will be less clutter. Fortunately the power supply is removeable (its in the rightmost pocket in the photo). So as long as you consider this to be equivilant with the 'Juice' system with a free bag it isn't that bad. I would bet if you got the smaller case advertized for $80 than you are even better off as that would be cheaper than the Juice system.
