Everybody knows that pretty much any nokia charger from the last decade will work with any nokia handset from the last decade which is great as I’ve got the charger cradle from my Nokia 8800 at home and an old charger from a 3310 at work in case I need a bit of extra juice to get through the day and don’t have to worry about remembering to take a charger with me.

A couple of weeks ago I had a few days off and because I was in a rush I forgot to take the charger home for my Core Duo Vaio and although the battery life is good, it’s not that good. I have however got an old 700MHz Pentium Vaio with a broken screen at home that’s not much use to anyone. As I couldn’t go for three days without my laptop I checked out the spec on the old charger and it matched up with the battery from the new Vaio. It also fits.

I haven’t had a chance to see if any other Vaio chargers work with other Vaio’s but it’s a pretty big coincidence so I’ll bet that they do. Now I’ve got phone and laptop chargers at home and at work and have less stuff to carry around. That’s today’s top tip!
