Zolt Laptop Charger Plus Review

Zolt Laptop Charger Plus Review Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Sony Ac Adapter
This charger has a few really neat tricks up its sleeve that add to its portability and ease of use. Its AC prongs fold into the unit, much like those on Apple's MacBook and iPad adapters. This prevents the prongs from being damaged while in transit and, in the case of the already-compact Zolt, makes it easier to pack it into a purse or pocket.
The unit's body rotates 90 degrees around its frame, which makes it easier to access the ports when you're plugged into a tight space on an outlet or power strip. I was able to get my USB cables in easily around a bulbous power adapter for an alarm clock.
The charger comes with a 6-foot charging cable with eight interchangeable tips to fit a variety of laptops. Our review unit had a guide that included which heads to use for Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, Gateway, HP, Lenovo, LG, MSI, Samsung and Toshiba laptops, though Zolt's website and compatibility checker suggest it will work with many more brands. Adapters with like Sony PCG-5211 AC adapter, Sony PCG-6132 AC adapter, Sony PCG-621L AC adapter, Sony PCG-631R AC adapter, Sony PCG-812 AC adapter, Sony PCG-745 AC adapter, Sony PCG-8622 AC adapter, Sony PCG-8000 AC adapter, Sony PCG-9000 AC adapter, Sony PCG-9562 AC adapter, Sony PCG-995L AC adapter, Sony PCG-ELK AC adapterfor MacBooks are sold separately for $19.99 apiece.
Zolt suggests that the Laptop Charger Plus and its interchangeable heads will work with 90 percent of laptops on the market. The suggested head for my work-issued laptop, a Dell Latitude 430u, fit perfectly, as did the L-shaped power adapter for my MacBook Pro.
When I went through the tips, looking to charge a Lenovo 100S Chromebook that I have been testing, there wasn't a plug that fit it. It was part of the 10 percent. Zolt does offer a compatibility checker on its website, though it doesn't include a number of models (including the 100S Chromebook). Zolt told us that it will "appraise and update" the checker on a monthly basis. It also didn't fit another Lenovo we had lying around the office, the Ideapad 100S, which uses a different tip than its Chromebook counterpart.
There is currently no cable available for USB Type-C connectors. At the moment, laptops with these connectors are few and far between (Apple's 12-inch MacBook and Google's Chromebook Pixel spring to mind), but the new charging standard is expected to grow quickly. If your laptop, smartphone or other device uses USB Type-C, then you will have to wait for the next model of this charger. Zolt told us that more news about that product will be coming in early 2016.
