If your laptop will not charge, or you want a spare for the office or travel, this collection of laptop chargers and adapters covers HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, Toshiba and MacBook models. Every listing states voltage, current and wattage in its title, and most also name the pin or tip type, so you can match a charger to your laptop before you order.
The four checks before you buy
Read the label on your existing adapter, which shows an output such as 19.5V 3.34A. Buying guides agree on the same rules:
- Voltage must match. Too high or too low can stop charging or damage the laptop.
- Amperage can be equal or higher, never lower. The laptop only draws what it needs; a weaker charger overheats and struggles.
- Wattage is volts multiplied by amps. 19.5V x 3.34A is about 65W. Match or exceed the original wattage.
- The connector must fit without force, with the right polarity. Even a plug that fits physically can behave differently if the tip type is wrong.
Tip types explained
Many Dell and HP chargers use a 7.4mm x 5.0mm barrel (the "big pin"). Newer ones use a slimmer 4.5mm x 3.0mm "smart" tip with an extra centre pin that tells the laptop which charger is attached. Because of that identification signal, a plain converter between the two sizes may not charge a laptop properly. Lenovo, Acer and Asus use their own smaller tips, and MacBook chargers use L-pin or T-pin magnetic connectors, so always compare against your old plug.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a higher-wattage charger?
Yes, if voltage and connector match. Never go lower in wattage.
Where do I find my laptop's rating?
On the original adapter label, the sticker under the laptop, or the manufacturer's support page.
Are all HP chargers the same?
No. HP uses several tip types, so check pin colour and size.
