Oper0n Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 FYI, those of you who fly Alaska (and other airlines): I happen to know someone at Astronics who developed the seat power systems being installed on Alaska's fleet now. Each seat has a 110V outlet that puts out a max of about 230W in addition to USB power. Pro tip is this: Power is distributed on a first come first serve basis per seat row. If you want to run your overhacked desktop replacement gaming laptop and suck up all the juice, make sure you are the first to plug into your outlet in your seat row. Don't buckle your belt, don't text, immediately plug in your laptop before you sit down. The first person to plug in per seat row gets as much of the power as you can draw. Any leftovers get sent to the 2nd person to plug in, then the 3rd person to plug in. If the system registers a draw on your outlet first in the seat row, you win. A dedicated 230W probably still isn't enough for some of the biggest power hog systems out there, but you can work with it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamtaplin Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 That seems like a bit of a design flaw but thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
