Conclusion
The Twinkle 65 is well done and very practical. After using this device with several different notebooks during the past weeks, we really started to appreciate this little fellow. If you own several different devices which need a 19V power source and don't pull more than 65 Watt, the Twinkle 65 is higly practical. Apparently you can also buy a Twinkle 65 if you should have lost the power supply of your Notebook. In such an event, this unit is a perfect replacement. Apart from the versatility we also liked that it's very small as well as light and therefore easy to carry around.
Verifying the manufacturers efficiency statement, we tested it with an HP Folio 13 Ultrabook under full load and we notice that the very high value of 91 percent was achieved. A positive side effect of a highly efficient power supply is also that the unit is not becoming hot at all and therefore the Twinkle 65 stays cool.
Should you be looking for a universal power adaptor, then the FSP Twinkle 65 is definitely an attractive and interesting product. Checking for prices we found the Twinkle 65 on Geizhals starting at 27.90 Euro, which is an attractive price.
