will this work to prevent a blackout, will this work with a notebook?

No, it is designed to protect your device, like notebooks, from power spikes, but not to prevent electricity blackouts.

My home security system uses this. I think it is the back up power in case of blackout.

Not sure as I'm not familiar with you notebook...I used this cord to access a Sony cell phone with a broken touchscreen by mouse and it worked perfectly...thought I was going to lose everything...good luck!

Yes, love it!! I will not buy another laptop without it. It makes it a lot easier to work or play in a room where others do not want lights on. I.e. dorm room or up with sick child, etc.

Possible, but if your computer is working well otherwise to be honest your power is probably fine. It's cheap enough to try.

That will work. What you need is a device to give you a few minutes delay after power comes back on after a blackout. This works fine for me.

No that I'm aware, when you Internet connection dies is because a problem with the server. The back up unit can maintain power in case of a blackout only.

Mark - I am not sure but would give it a try IF you have a USB port on your camera. The monitor works great with HP notebook and draws only ~5 Watts so has virtually no affect on battery. I wish I had a way to test this for you. If you have other uses, such that it is not a waste if it doesn't work with camera, I would purchase this. The Windows driver installation provides better effects and full resolution on the monitor - even though it "works" without drivers (plug and play), be sure to install them. Best of luck, Scott

It uses a little USB wireless transceiver. If you have an unused standard USB port on the notebook, you should have no problem.

Officially, no. It takes some time plugging and unplugging into the Mac, but it will work eventually. Also, the computer will forget it's there when it falls asleep.

Did you end up buying this item to use to black out windows? If so, how did it work out?

It will function without external power. Using external means there is less drain on your (Laptop) power.

It can record at night. While recording the display shuts off. Connect to computer later to download results

i have black out before but the power came back without any action. so there's another question does work during the black out? if the protection circuits didn't disable the power during the surge. it will work as normal. i guess i gotta wait until lighting hit my house to find out.

I'm not sure why there are a couple of varying answers to this. On my unit the power adapter IS required, which is a bit of a disappointment for me as I was expecting to only have to use it with higher-power devices like USB hard disks. (This was based on the first answer on the list here; unfortunately I did not open the window to see the others.) It will NOT light up, and Windows will not recognize, even low-power devices (like USB sticks and mice) without the wall wart.

Just googled your notebook and a you tube video show that you need a mini hdmi to hdmi cable, not a micro hdmi to hdmi cable. The HDMI cable you are asking about is a micro so it would not work. Get a mini HDMI to HDMI cable.

Not really. I agree with others, stick the charger in your bag, or your pocket. On another note, don't try to use this pocket as a lap-desk. The magnet that holds the thing shut is powerful enough to trick your computer into thinking the cover is closed, and may cause the screen to go black. It took me a week to figure that one out.
