Car Charger
The Innergie mCube Mini was used with a Toyota Camry 2005. The mCube Mini was powered fine and it was capable of charging both the Dell Inspiron 1525 and the Samsung YP-K3 simultaneously. The battery of the Dell laptop was removed, and IntelBurnTest 2.5 was run for an hour. No instability that might have come from insufficient power was noted.
The Innergie mCube Mini: small and sleek
Although the Innergie mCube Mini is small with fairly short cables, it might be encumbering depending on which vehicle you own. In the Toyota Camry 2005, there is a small drawer near the cigarette lighter socket where the mCube Mini was placed so that it would not get in the way of the gear shift. In smaller vehicles, however, it might be a problem.
USB Charger
Although the mCube Mini comes with two different power adapters for either the car or the airplane, only the car adapter comes with a USB port. The USB port powered the Samsung YP-K3 fine. The TomTom XL340S was also easily powered by the mCube Mini.
Air Charger
Unfortunately, the airplane adapter could not be tested.
General Thoughts
As noted previously, the Innergie mCube Mini supports a wide range of devices and it charges them effortlessly. The included traveling pouches are highly welcomed because the different parts to the device and become difficult to manage, especially the 10 different notebook power tips.
The overall build quality of the mCube Mini is very good. The right angle notebook tips and the flexible cables allow moving the laptop around without accidentally unplugging or damaging the Innergie mCube Mini.
For added convenience, Innergie should have made the voltage switching automatic. It can be tedious if you are not the only one using the Innergie mCube Mini or if you are planning on using different notebooks. Furthermore, the voltage switch itself is recessed and difficult to access without a pen.
