Got this to be a backup or travel charger and it works great on my Lenovo!

I dont use my Thinkpad P50 as much since getting a new job with a more powerful/modern laptop, but its still around for some consulting work and occasional use in my workshop. I wanted to have a spare adapter in the workshop for the times I want to use the bigger screen and my software load on this system over there. It does what it says it does, keeps the p50 going with 64GB RAM and an extra SSD, and I have no complaints.

Works well as a backup/garage power supply for my Lenovo P1. The adapter that came with the laptop was 230W, but this 170W is more than enough for 95% of my computer usage. Construction, materials, fit and finish, wire feel, everything feels very close to the actual Lenovo parts.

Ive been wanting an extra charging adapter for my Lenovo laptop for a while. I work with my laptop outside of the house at least two days a week and if I manage to forget my charger at home Im basically SOL. My laptop is a gaming laptop and the battery only lasts for about 2 hours, and thats if I have all of the power saving settings maxed out. With a second adapter I can have one that lives at my desk at home and one that lives in my backpack for travel. This adapter had been successfully powering my laptop for the last 24 hours and my laptop had made no complaints so far. This matches the input and output stats of my original charging brick, so this is a winner in my book. *Worth noting that this is not advertised for my 2018 Lenovo Legion laptop, but the plug in the charger fits perfectly and the input and output stats are identical to the original.

It works great for what I needed. My cat chewed through my old one and this works perfectly. Heavy

When you are getting a new laptop charger it is expected that they work right out of the box, and this one does that. This is a Lenovo Rectangle yellow tip charger, a VERY common newer standard, used on most recent Lenovo laptops, monitors and even all in one computers. This charger is 170W which means it will be able to give the juice to almost anything out there, even the most demanding all in one computer or gaming laptop. It will basically run anything that needs a lenovo rectangle yellow tip jack even the most powerful computer or docking station. Having an extra charger is really good. You can keep one in the main place you use your laptop and keep your original in the laptop bag so you don’t have to wrap it up when you need to go mobile. I keep one plugged in by the sofa in the living room, where I sit and surf while watching TV, but my original one is in my laptop bag…. It is always better to get a charger that is designed for your laptop. Those universal chargers are a bad idea, they can put out different voltages and can harm your computer, also the interchangeable tips have a lot of issues. When you buy a charger there are three things you need to look for. 1. Tip, make sure the tip is exactly the side and length you want. 2. Make sure the voltage is exactly correct. If you laptop wants 19V then feed it 19V, more or less could cause damage. 3. Make sure the watts are more than enough. If your laptop calls for 65W it is OK and actually better to feed it more watts. It will only feed your laptops what it can handle. The main drawback to a charger with more watts is that it is bigger and heavier. If you get a charger that is smaller it will charge slower and may not even charge at all. Most gaming laptops need much more power than standard chargers and this 170W AC charger is enough to charge 99% of all Lenovo rectangle tip laptops out there.

This AC adapter works well. I have included photos of a Lenovo adapter next to this item, as well as a closeup of the specs written on the block. This adapter is larger in physical size than the Lenovo adapter. It works well with my laptop, and I have not felt any heat from the block while in use.

I once received a laptop that needed this size AC charger but didnt have one. I gave it to a friend who also repairs computers. When I saw this one, I grabbed it. I didnt want to be without one if I ever needed one again. However this did come in handy when working on some older ThinkPads. I have several older (10 to 12 years old) laptops I keep around for specific task and parts. They dont get used much and had not been charged in a while. Depleted batteries tend to overwork standard chargers (make them extra warm) when they finally do get charged up. This having more wattage (but the same voltage) than the old chargers do it never broke a sweat. Now, I have one on hand and something to charge up old depleted ThinkPads.

I have the power supply that came with my Lenovo P73 laptop, but it is always handy to have a backup or a second location. Saves having to carry your power supply everywhere. Works flawlessly.

This ThinkPad AC charger is just like the one that originally comes with the ThinkPad. It functions like the original in every way. This would be good to purchase as a spare charger.
