When manufacturer’s started advertising “universal” laptop power supplies, we were a little skeptical. Until recently, finding the right laptop adapter was a nightmare. One almost certainly had to go straight to the dealer. That seems to be what most people seem to think today. But Targus is known for creating all sorts of universal products for laptops. So the brand here is a good one.
Most reviews of this adapter were really good. The most common suggestion or “wish I had” comment was to purchase the extended warranty if the store offers one. Many experienced the adapter getting extremely hot so it is recommended to make sure you unplug it after use and not leave it plugged in. Also, many reviews suggested to break the cord down and keep it in the supplied pouch for safe keeping. Most agreed it was a great backup or replacement power adapter for their current laptop.
The price of this laptop power supply ranges anywhere from $70 to $100 dollars. And of course this depends on if you get the extended warranty. Most of those who reviewed this product suggested this added insurance since many brick and mortar stores offer product replacement programs.
