i believe it is a 20v. it says 50-60hz, 20v, ac 100v, 3.5A, 120VA on the charger.
im looking to run my lilliput and dell 4150 off of a carnetix so that i have auto shutdown and startup on both hardware. the usb hub will be powered through the lappy its actually a notebook fan cooler and usb hub built into it anbd it connects via usb.
p1900 is fine.
Primary output set to 20v will power your laptop
Secondary output set to 12v will power your screen
Add-on 5v output will power your usb devices($25)
the usb hub will be starved for power if you add a couple things. the laptop itself will only provide 500mA. It's best to power the usb hub with another regulator ($25)
I have one of those notebook fan coolers, it has a hub and 9n1 memory card slot, it needs more than just one plug to really work well. if i fill in all the usb slots with my devices things start to go funky.
