    Few days ago my adapter of CLEVO P150HM burned and need to replace it. I have been watching and found a cheaper than the original FSP, but as is from the ASUS brand:
    http://www.asus.com/Accessories/180W_G_Series_NB_Adapter_N180W02/specifications/

    do not know if it's compatible, so would like to have some opinions on this and the best adapter that you possible recommend to me. Thanks in advance!

    The specs for my old adapter of the laptop are:
    • Input: AC100~240V, 50~60Hz
    • Output: DC19 V / 9.47 A
    • Watts: 180W
    • Connector: 5.5mm/2.5mm barrel tip (no center pin)

    Use a similar 180W Asus for both my Clevos, part nr. FA180PM111. Looks identical to the one you linked above and so does the connector. Small bonus; it's smaller than the original Lite-On.

    Don't know about a ' best' adapter; the 180W is peak supply, what is drawn from the the mains is higher than that (the difference = loss = heat). So the lower the markup above 180W, the more efficient the adapter (there's more, but ...). If you're consistently pulling near-to-max. current (due to oc'ing) you may be better served with a 240W, otherwise its lifespan will be diminished (it'll be bigger though). If not, that Asus psu will do fine.
