This category contains laptop power adapters rated at 150 W and above, made for gaming laptops, mobile workstations and higher-power business models. Our range includes over 400 models, with adapters from DELL, HP, Lenovo and ASUS among the leading brands.
How to choose a high-power laptop charger
Wattage. The adapter must match the original charger's wattage or exceed it, and you will find the figure on the adapter label. Our range includes 150, 170, 180, 200, 230 and 240 W models. An adapter that is too weak may fail to charge the battery under heavy load, and the laptop may slow down.
Voltage. The output voltage should be the same as on the original. Common values in our range are 19.5 V and 20 V, and there are also 19 V and 18.9 V adapters. Adapters with different voltages are not interchangeable, even if the wattage is the same.
Connector. Check the connector type and size: a round barrel plug with a centre pin, a rectangular tip or something else. Two adapters with the same wattage and voltage may still not fit, so compare the plug with a photo or the marking on your current adapter.
Compatibility with your model. Go by the laptop model and the part number of the original adapter. Most products here are for laptops, but there are also universal adapters and some intended for desktop PCs or workstations.
Original or compatible. A manufacturer's adapter is the safest way to have the laptop recognise it without restrictions. A compatible third-party adapter is handy as a spare for home or the office, provided its specification matches the original exactly.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a higher-wattage charger than the original?
Yes, as long as the voltage and connector match the original. The laptop draws only as much power as it needs, so extra wattage should not cause harm. What matters is that the adapter is not weaker than the original.
Will a 150 W charger work with a laptop that needs 180 W?
It is best avoided. Under heavy load, such as gaming or rendering, 150 W may not be enough, so the battery charges slowly or even drains. Some laptops also reduce their performance.
How do I find out what wattage my laptop charger needs?
Look at the label on your current adapter, on the Output line, for example 19.5 V and 180 W. If you no longer have the adapter, check the manufacturer's specifications for your exact laptop model. You can then compare the same figures with the product descriptions.
Will a charger from another manufacturer work with my laptop?
It will if the wattage, voltage and connector all match. Some laptops do not always recognise a non-original adapter and may limit charging or show a warning. Check the part number and the list of compatible models first.
