With a name as good as the Powergorilla users would expect nothing more than a monster performance, and the Gorilla does deliver.
There are not many portable devices on the market that can power a user’s laptop on the move with any great effect, but this not only does that, but it can also power a mobile phone, iPod and handheld games console at the same time.
The device comes with its own A/C adaptor which works in over 150 countries, with interchangeable heads for the UK, US/Japan/China, Australia and Europe – meaning it really is a handy tool for the mobile executive.
As expected with a device of this kind it is not exactly the most sexy
looking object, but it does what it says on the tin. It can give an extra two to
five hours of power to the average notebook and around 20 hours of power to
other devices.
Not only that but if the charger feels it is getting too hot through over use or
heat exposure it will simply shut itself off.
We tested the Powergorilla while on a business trip and it really did power four devices at once, which saves having to bulk up luggage with all the different plugs and adapters usually needed when working on the move.
The device comes with a handy protective case and is also ruggedised with rubber strips, so it can take some knocks.
Our only complaint would be the weight of the device – at 660g it is not ultra heavy, but the weight soon adds up when combined with the laptop, laptop bag and all the other paraphernalia that the average business traveller carts around.
Great portable power device for the business traveller with the added bonus
of being able to charge other portable devices
