The original was an excellent adapter, a new version. not as much.

I have purchased several PWR+ power supplies for various laptops over the past few years and have always been impressed with their durability and design. This was purchased for use with an Acer Spin 111-32N 2-in-1 laptop. I believe they are equal or better quality than the original OEM products but much cheaper. I have a few that I've been using for 5 years now; none failed. All of them are recognized in the laptop BIOS as equivalent to OEM products. I would highly recommend these products to anyone interested in purchasing an additional or replacement power supply. I like to keep one in my travel bag, one in my home office, and one at my work place for maximum flexibility and convenience, and it makes that convenience affordable and reliable. Whenever I need a new adapter I always turn to the PWR+ brand without hesitation. UPDATE 1/11/2020: I recently bought another Acer Spin 111-32N laptop for my partner and based on my success with the previous adapter I decided to order another PSU with the same PWR+ as the main PSU. I was very surprised that the new adapter, despite having the same model number, has a different design. The most obvious difference is the laptop connector. The cable now has two connectors attached with about three inches of cable between the adapters and their connection point. The adapters come in a variety of sizes, which will likely allow this power adapter to be used with more products. This would allow PWR+ to produce fewer versions of their adapters, which sounds like a plus, but for me it's a minus. The second adapter gets in the way, making it difficult to plug in and stay connected to the laptop. I will also add that the new adapter doesn't fit as well as the old version and often falls out of the laptop or doesn't make proper contact. I had to tie the second connector back to the cable with a zip tie for the adapter to work. I'm so frustrated that I either throw it away or send it back and buy something else. For this reason I am changing my original rating to 3 stars.
