The reviews are helpful, but I wonder - will this charge a laptop? and if so, does it include a cable to do so?

Short answer is NO. The output from this unit's USB port is limited to 5V 500mA, or 2.5W. A typical laptop AC charger is around 19V 6A, or over 100W. You cannot charge a laptop through its USB port, anyway.

The device has a USB connector for charging, you use the cable that came with your cell phone or tablet to charge by USB. A Laptop battery would be too large, I would not expect to get a laptop battery charge through this. If you have a laptop that charges by USB (i do not know of any) , theoretically you could charge with it, even if partial.

It will only recharge a cellphone, kindle, ipod touch, it will charge an ipad or tablet but not fully (about fifty percent). it could charge a laptop but it would be much of a charge. As for cable it comes with about a dozen usb connectors that willl hook up to any usb cable. If you want to charge a laptop you might want to look for a larger solar power charger. try something like the Nature Power 55080 80-Watt Folding Monocrystalline Solar Panel and Laptop Charger they also have some chargers a good deal cheaper but just as good. hope this was helpful. good luck!

It is not designed to charge most laptops. The smaller Apple laptops which charged like iPads and iPods it Possibly could do that. Here is a link iPhone to five top solar laptop charger: http://t.treehugger.com/treehugger/#!/entry/5-best-portable-solar-laptop-chargers,51a06d2b87443d6c8e53e213

The unit comes with a USB cord to plug into your laptop to charge. Or you need to purchase a USB wall charger.

I don't think so. But you may want to check the Voltage/Amps your laptop needs and compare it to the one this charger supplies. On the other hand I don't know how you are planning to plug your laptop to a USB.

Yes - it has a USB port, so should charge any device that charges through a USB cable.

Apparently it does not... after some more searching yesterday, I found a web page saying that the best way to do it is to buy a universal laptop power supply.Hope that helps!John...

It does come with a Power Cable and a VGA cable to connect to your computer. You'll have to check because not all laptops have a VGA port.

NO!! it has does not have an adapter cord for a LAPTOP (which is the mini displayport). It comes with cables for desktop computer only. I have a macbook pro and I had to buy a mini displayport adapter which costs $30

If it will power it, it will charge it. It just comes with a bunch of cable connectors, so it plugs in to your computer power plug port.

From what I see, it only has input for USB, so unless you have a USB to charge your laptop, then no. But you may want to contact the company for additional information.

Yes, the computer comes with a charger. In the description is specifies (power adapter and cord)

No, it is basically a plug-in replacement for a laptop drive. If you need a cable, you will have to buy one.

Yes. There is cable that works both with a regular charger and also with the computer.

If there is an adapter for it it will work.(I will check when I get home) I have hooked up PC laptops to it and it works great. The USB port is the most valuable part of this device in my opinion. It will charge ANY USB supported device. Best electronic support device I have ever purchased.

As I recall, there was only the USB type connection, so it charged from the computer. I believe there are adaptors to turn the one into a prong thingy. I haven't researched it myself. Best of luck.

Mine came with a car charger. You might consider a Power all charger. They sell it here at amazon. Starts your car, charges Laptops, cell phones etc. Better option.

It will charge anything with a USB connector. Use the USB charging cable included for charging from the computer. It's not a problem.

It will work but not well. Mine has crapped out already so I am looking for a replacement again. I had mine charging a Toshiba Satellite U505.
