[4. the output of the macmini carnetix P/S is 18.9volts and you cannot substitute this with the notebook p/s.
5. Alternatively, you can buy a 12v to 220v convertor to run your notebook p/s, alot of people has done it. This way, you need minimum mod to the power supply. in the market, 2 versions are available, one is the transformer type and the other is electronic type (solid state), alternatively, buy a Targus car power supply to run your notebook, the best solution. If you need more info, let me know.

do you mean buy a coverter to connect to the caretix or i need another power supply.i have already fried one notebook, i think that time i got the polarity wrong when i called ah pau for instructions...hahaha
two wires one with a white line is positive or negative????????/

this is the p/s you should use.
check for the correct tip for your notebook.
it draws power from the cig lighter and power up your notebook without conversion.
i used it for both cars and aircraft.
most notebooks work but not for the new Macbookpro only.
