| More Info: http://www.coolermaster-usa.com |
Just like Thermaltake, Cooler Master also released their version of a universal laptop charger. Cooler Master product, however, doesn’t have an output voltage selection switch: the output is always fixed at 19 V. According to Cooler Master the vast majority of laptops found on the market are fed with 19 V. On the other hand it comes with a USB port for charging USB-based devices (e.g. iPods). This port can deliver up to 1 A. Cooler Master universal charger comes with eight different power plugs in order to match several different notebook models (on the picture below one of the plugs was being used on the laptop on the right). Cooler Master didn't say anything about when this product will reach the market or price range.
