Lind Electronics' Website lists a $100 PowerBook G4 power adapter for obtaining power from a standard cigarrette lighter and on airplanes.

The Lind Automobile/Airline Adapters "operate your laptop and at the same time charge the laptop's internal battery. Each adapter provides the proper voltage for your specific computer from any 11 to 16 VDC source. Output filtering, tight regulation and short circuit protection keep your computer safe from power fluctuations at the source." The adapter operates from a standard automobile cigarette lighter and is compatible with airline seatback systems. It ships with a 3-yr warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee. (The power connector on the back of the PowerBook G4 is smaller than the standard connector on most Apple laptops and is not compatible with previous generation accessories.)
