The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    Chinese reseller. I wouldn't touch this personally. There are a lot of fakes out there not living up to the quality standards of the manufacturer.

    Get a refurbed Targus 180w brick. They're cheap, runs cooler than stock, and has a matching tip for G73.

    Looks like the specs of your current power adapter are

    INPUT: 100-240V~ 1.5A, 50-60Hz
    OUTPUT: 19V 4.74A 90W

    The one at the link looks like it barely meets the specs of your current adapter.

    Any adapter with an appropriate plug, at the same input/output voltage, and rated for at least 4.74A/90W (@19V) should work.
