机场的电源插头

许多朋友,不管是公事出差还是私人出游,随身带个laptop越来越常见。打发无聊飞机上的时间,上网查询信息,临时处理存储照片,或者和GPS一起电子地图指引方向等等,laptop在旅途的用途越来越广泛。 不过既然用的多,也常常为laptop的电池头痛。特别是在机场,不知道你有没有见过一堆人凑在一起给laptop充电的画面,我是遇到过的。

不过有的机场商业脑筋转的太快了,旧金山的SFO机场最近就把机场的公共电源插座锁起来,而堂而皇之地装上了充电站(charging station),一次收费$2,真是BS。实在有损旧金山城市的形象。

如果你想知道机场何处能有免费的公共电源插头,可以参考一下这个wiki网站:Air Power Home。 更多关于机场的有趣网站, 可以参考我们的United States Major Airport,tag is airport
