Review on πŸ”Œ Universal 90W AC Laptop Charger Power Adapter for HP Compaq Dell Acer Asus Toshiba IBM Lenovo Samsung Sony Fujitsu Gateway Notebook Ultrabook by Shane Jess

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Outputs 20V regardless of tip

The device looks good enough and comes with a wide range of tips, but it doesn't change its output voltage depending on the tip. I needed a 19V power supply with a 5.5mm tip, which is one of the options, and decided to test it first. No matter what was written on the tip, I got the same 20V. Tried under load and got the same 20V. I tried measuring some tips to find sense resistor values and only found one that appeared to have a measurable sense resistor but also put out 20V. I suppose most people's laptops wouldn't care if the output voltage was 18.5V or 20V, but I needed 19V. Maybe I just got a bad one.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Not everything fits
