After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain.

CoolerMaster SNA95 Slim Notebook Adaptor Review

Introduction
Back in the day before the land of custom computers and laptops most every portable device that needed external power used one of 6 different DC power plugs. Due to this sudo standard it was extremely easy to replace the power adaptor if you're was broken or lost. Simply head down to the local Radio Shack and pick one up. Sadly when custom computers came around any sort of standard was quickly dismissed in favor of enforcing brand loyalty on even the smallest of levels. That way if something went wrong you would go back to them for the solution.
In this review we will be looking at the Slim Notebook Adaptor from CoolerMaster that doubles as a universal power supply for not only Notebooks but any USB device that needs to be charged. The CoolerMaster SNA95 is a 95W power adaptor that operates at 19v DC which happens to be the nominal voltage for charging laptop batteries.
