Slim and Powerful AC, DC and AC/DC Power Adapters To Debut at CES 2005
Demonstrating that less may in fact be more, Kensington Technology Group, a leading maker of accessories that enhance the lifestyle of the Digitally Active, unveils a new line of slim and powerful AC, DC and AC/DC power adapters for PCs, Macs, MP3 players, cell phones and other low and high voltage portable devices, including the Apple iPod Digital Music Player. Kensington's new line of "high protein, low fat" power bars will make their debut at booth #36438 during the 2005 International CES, being held on January 6-9, 2005 in Las Vegas.
"Whether plugged in at work, home, or on the road, computer users have always had to make a choice between power and portability when purchasing a new or replacement power source. With our new line of AC and DC power accessories that provide optimum power with significantly less bulk, we've literally taken the weight of choice off their shoulders," comments Rob Humphrey, Director of Marketing.
