    Hi,

    I'm looking for a compatible power supply for my Vaio Z (series 2012).

    As I still have got the power supply of my old vaio Z (series 2009), I wanted to ask if this might be compatible.

    The original power supply of the new Z series has an output of 19.5V and 3.3A.
    The power supply of my old vaio has got 19.5V and 4.7A.
    As the power supply stick "VGPAC19V51 AC Adapter" also has 19.5V and 4.7A and is compatible to the new Z series, the power supply of my old vaio should be to, shouldn't it?

    yes. the voltage is important and should be the same (it is).
