I bought this to fit in my arm rest center console. It fits fine, but snugly. Also, it's a little loud. Also when I plug in my gaming laptop, which says it draws 110watts, as well as GPS into USB, it shuts down when I actually start playing a game and the fan kicks in, which is really annoying.Duracell makes a Pocket 175 model (also sold on Amazon) that is slightly thinner overall (doesn't have this ugly bump this model has), and about a half inch shorter (4" vs 4.5"), also it's almost a half inch narrower (2.6" vs 2.9"). In general it takes up about 1/3rd less space than this model, which is really significant. The duracell model also delivers 175 watts vs 150 on this unit, enough so I can run my laptop and GPS at the same time without a single issue (I spent 3 hours in my car the other day and the duracell model fully charged the laptop while running 3D apps and my GPSTHIS model can't do that).
Also the Duracell model is quieter... I wish I bought the duracell model first, this unit falls a little short in every category and is now sitting in my junk drawer.
If you are SURE you only need 150 watts, don't mind spending the same amount of money and getting something less, more bulky and louder, then maybe get this.
Seriously, this unit is over-priced, since Duracell is a big brand name and their pocket 175 is so much better for the same price.
Don't make the same mistake I did!
