So my question to you all is this:
Just how reliable are these devices? Will a generic inverter be reliable enough? 110V isn't a problem (heck, I doubt my household supply is an exact 120V), and the Apple AC adapter will handle down to 100V).
You are correct, the alleged output voltage is not the issue.
Given that the Vector inverters are easily 1/2 the price of the name brand stuff, I'm leaning towards them.
Unless, of course, inverters are a case of "you pay for what you get."
They are, frequently. But it's hard to rate MTBF.
Besides, I'd promote buying a DC-DC inverter, such the Targus or IGo etc. This assumes you can get the connector that fits your PB, and it puts out the correct voltage. It's smaller, wastes less power as heat and is likely more reliable than a bottom-feeder AC out system.
