    Hello,

    I left my power supply at home and need to buy one to have shipped to my destination. Can anyone please provide me the model number of the proper Sony supply for the Z11/12/13.

    Thanks in advance!

    My Z138GG uses VGP-AC19V32.
    The Z2 adapter also works with the Z1.

    Thanks ota-con!

    I tried the smaller adapter for a few days. I did a clean install removing win 8 and for one reason or another it would not work well when windows was installing SP 1. It keep rebooting like it was not getting enough juice.

    I stopped using it out of caution. Looking that the adapters it seemed everything but one spec was the same. I just didint was to undervolt and fry the Z.

    Are you sure it should work under full load? I would love to carry around the smaller charger.

    What are the specifications of the two adapters? Voltage and current.
