Quick question regarding ac adapters for laptops.

Can you use any power adapter with any laptop, are they universal or do some have more power than others?

I think they are all very similar so you shouldn't blow anything up. I used to borrow my dad's charger for his Acer to charge my Toshiba and it didn't do any damage. The Acer charger was more powerful so the only difference was my battery charged quicker

Disclaimer: Any damage as a result of your laptop exploding in electrical fireball is not my fault.

Check voltage and polarity of the power supply & connector matches existing charger.

Thanks for the advice guys, I was pretty sure it would be fine but thought it would be best to double check, I will check on the labels to see what the power setting are as well.

Thanks again.
