Then I connect my laptop to my phone & my phone connects to the cellular towers. I can pay Verizon $20/ month to turn my phone into a hotspot.

One of the things that I want to do with it is use it as a GPS when I travel. So, that's exactly what I'm doing.ĭoes Apple sell a car adapter/charger for a Mac laptop? I'm interested in getting a Macbook Air. OK.A Mac forum recommended that I ask someone on an Apple forum.

I have a battery pack for my iPad, but have not used one w/ my laptop, so the above is not a personal recommendation for the product mentioned. SO, that would not be an option for me.īut, there are more powerful battery packs that can charge a laptop - keep in mind the wattage needed (my MBPro has a 60 W charger) - there was a previous thread from a poster asking about the BatteryBox (shown below) that would serve your needs - not cheap (believe about $200) - assume that you've been googling similar products?Īs to Apple's recommendation, this forum is not supported by Apple, so unless you join one w/ Apple technicians responding or visit an Apple store to ask your question, I cannot address your query - maybe others can? Let us know what you decide - good luck in your selection. Personally, I don't trust the lighter adapters for charging even iDevices - my wife's phone blew a few fuses on my previous car - I bought her a small battery pack that can charge her new iPhone or iPad Mini at least twice while in the car. The following is a reply from a Mac forum that I'm on: What about a Mophie? It probably wouldn't charge the battery, but would maintain the charge. I did read about DC to AC to DC inverters. The car's circuit breakers might trip or the adapter itself would overheat. Based on my research, using a cigarette lighter adapter to charge an Air is not recommended.
