    Hi,

    Does anyone know what the pin size is of clevo n150adapters. Thinking of buying that clevo model but read on notebookcheck that the 120watt adapter is a bit underpowered. I have a 150watt adapter lying around from my previous laptop.
    If all specs are the same it s safe to use no?

    Do you have any more info on the 150w that you are using? Just because the wattage is higher, doesn't mean it has the right voltage which is very important.

    You could reach out to the seller where your computer was purchased from, and I would think they could tell you what a replacement charge is.

    It's a 19V 5.5x2.5mm barrel type connector. Remember they were talking about maximum draw, you don't run the machine at that constantly so a larger brick is not required for normal use.

    Ok thx. my 150 watt brick has compatible specs then.

    @Meaker@Sager if ur gaming for a long time can it then help to use the 150watt one? anyway it shouldn't have any negative effect right?

    The brick itself will be a little cooler, there should be no negative impact, though there is unlikely to be a benefit either.
