Here's a closer look at the adapter unit and connector heads.

And just how small is the FSP Twinkle 65? I hope this photo is enough a comparison.

Or how about this one?

More details at the official product page.

Here's my video for the adapter, in case you're interested.



User Experience
The Twinkle 65 is an amazingly small adapter and I wish something like this was invented earlier. biggrin.gif It's so lovely, now my smaller bags have a lot more space to spare!

While the Twinkle 65 comes with 8 connector heads, your actual usage would most likely be relying on just one unless you're lugging around more than one Notebook computer.

The only down side to the Twinkle 65 is the limitation, for example the I have a Lenovo G50-70 and an ASUS Tranformer Book Trio that happens to fall under the 0.1% of the devices with non-compatible power socket. sad.gif Hopefully FSP will release add-on packs for the Twinkle, and perhaps include a 3-pin British plug as well. Sure, the 2-pin works fine but a 3-pin plug would make it a lot more convenient.

The Verdict
The FSP Twinkle 65 is a compact, lightweight and convenient adapter that retails at RM 119, now available in Malaysia.

Why should you get one? If you're one who is always on the go, I'm sure there are times where you left your notebook adapter in the office or at home, resulting in a temporary down time. The FSP Twinkle 65's small and lightweight nature makes it the perfect notebook adapter to accompany you wherever you go so the main (heavy) notebook adapter stays put at the office while the Twinkle 65 will be the one you carry around with you.

Besides eliminating the hassle of having to detach and store the large adapters in your notebook case, you now carry a notebook adapter that's frees your bag space and lighten the load on your shoulders.

great review. really make me want to buy one.

is it compatible with dell? Dell is very pesky and has a signalling chip in the original adaptor. if non ori adaptor will say unknown adaptor. i will power up but not charge.

In the video demo I did show it could connect to a Dell Inspiron 15 3000. I could charge with it, no problem.
