Given that, in most overseas flights, sufficient voltage is available at every seat to power in-flight entertainment, I wonder if it's an easier engineering problem to have a 15-20 volt outlet instead (though I'm not sure if there's enough juice for the extra 2-3A).
True, not laptops have the same AC plug, so an adapter would be necessary.

- caf 16y agoThat's similar to what Air Canada had on the seat back for the flight I took SYD<->YVR (economy). My Australian laptop plug worked fine with it. So it's definitely doable, and I'd be prepared to bet money that it runs off the same APU that powers the entertainment system.
