Whatever you call them, they are expensive, troublesome, machine specific and absolutely necessary! You can run a laptop with a dead battery but not with a dead adaptor! Your laptop is worthless without one! Your laptop can be damaged by the wrong charger!
There are two scenarios to consider! You either don't have an adaptor - you lost it or bought the laptop without one (hopefully, very cheap). OR, you have one but it no longer works. If you don't have an adaptor you will need to buy the power cord too (£12.99 from PCWorld - £7.99 from us - for the two most common types - figure 8 or clover leaf). We now include the power/mains lead with all our chargers FREE!
If it fits will it work? It might, it might not and it may destroy your laptop or the adaptor! The important factors are not just "does it fit" - adaptors vary, commonly, from about 14 volts to about 24 volts and the amperes also vary. You can usually determine the correct volts and amps from your old adaptor or from a plate adhered to the underneath of your laptop. You need the correct voltage (+ or - 1.5v) to not cause short or long term damage to your laptop or the adaptor. The amperage (capacity) is not quite so important. The result of a lower amp output is that your battery will take longer to charge and if it is significantly lower you may have trouble running everything on your laptop at the same time when running from direct power, i.e. when your battery is flat or does not hold a charge. The result of a higher amp output will be a faster charge and all else should be fine. One other factor is polarity. The adaptor can be wired so that either the external part of the connector is positive and the internal pin is negative or vice versa! Inputting the wrong POLARITY may damage your laptop!!
WHAT IS ON OFFER? There is the Genuine Article - displays the laptop manufacturer's name, e.g. Sony Corporation and other information on the sticker. There is the Compatible Part or "Clone" displays some manufacturer's name other than the laptop manufacturer's name e.g. BetterByte. Then there is an abundance of Universal or Generic adaptors that come packaged a bit like Universal Lighter Gas, with a selection of attachments (pick yours) and sometimes a voltage selection switch (if you are lucky) or a label claiming from 12-24 volts or something like that. These are often sold at Computer Fairs and the such like. When deciding what to buy just ask yourself these two questions: How much am I saving? How much is my laptop worth to me? Here is my advice gained at the cost of many of our customers who have destroyed their laptops by shocking them to death. Buy a good quality charger from a reliable source. (That's us because we know the good and bad ones) - If you are buying a Universal Adaptor buy one from our range of tried, tested and guaraneed products - they are manufactured to the highest standard for theUK market.
UNIVERSAL ADAPTORS - We have high quality Universals (6 different round plugs 15v-22v) at £39.99 or £49.99 depending on the model (retail for £99.99 in PCWorld) - These are manufactured by a UK manufacturer for the UK market. They have been tried, tested and approved by us and we know which laptops they are suitable for and those that NONE of our range of six different Universals FIT (each sold for a range of models and packaged with 6 interchangeable plugs - that's 6 of the 18 different hollow round plugs that we stock and supply with UNIVERSALS (some other round plugs have a centre pin or are solid).
MORE ON UNIVERSALS! We have currently identified 18 different hollow round pin plugs for laptops. Then there are round pins that are not hollow (they have a centre pin). Then there are those that are not round but square or semi-circular, etc. Only round plugs are packaged with UNIVERSALS and then you usually get 6 covering the most common laptop models from a range of manufacturers. Our UNIVERSALS cover a range of models from one manufacturer (though they may fit others) with as many plugs 6 or more that we know that manufacturer to use. We are constantly updating our knowledge and databases to encompass the latest models. We appreciate your feedback.
