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.
