Works well. The changeable ends are nice but disconnect easily, which is both a blessing and a curse. If you’re like me and tend to move around a lot with the laptop, you’ll be occasionally thankful that you’re not ripping the brick out of the wall or damaging your machine. At the same time, it can be frustrating if you disconnect and don’t happen to notice.

Ordered this to replace the power adapter on my Wife’s Toshiba laptop that died. I chose Antec because of it’s reputation in power supplies and I wasn’t disappointed. It is a quality product with plenty of interchangeable tips and a variable voltage switch on the adapter to select the voltage your laptop requires. It is set to the lowest available voltage from the factory which is great because if you’re like me and just plug it in without reading the instructions, it won’t damage your laptop. I’d definitely recommend this power supply if it is compatible with your laptop. It’s a great balance between value and quality.

This charger worked for my HP Pavilion DV2000 series, despite it not being listed on the manufacturer’s web site (only 4 stars because that made me hesitant to order it). There is a small amount of slop when the tip is inserted into the laptop power socket, but it doesn’t stop charging when I jiggle it. The converter gets warmer than I remember the manufacturer’s unit doing, but I don’t see that as a big problem. Just remember to choose the correct voltage setting on the converter; fortunately it comes from the factory set to the lowest voltage, so there’s not much chance of you damaging your computer, it just might look like it’s not working…
