Best etailer to buy laptop power supply from?

[MichaelD]

My buddy's got a Targa laptop; decent little machine. The PS died and the internet is the best place for a new one.

Where to get it? Yeah, I Googled and got a billion results. Is there a "best place?"

Are you referring to the A/C adapter-charger?

I would get it where I got the best deal after checking Newegg, ZZZ, Tiger, etc. Then I would find which of these has the exact adapter and then select the best deal that includes shipping.

Targa

Thanks, Corkyg; yes, I am referring to the adaptor/charger.

What do you think of those "universal adaptors" LIKE THIS.

I'm leery of anything that puts out "up to 90 watts continuous" all the time...does it know how much wattage/voltage the battery needs?

As long as it meets the specs of the old one, it should be OK. I have used the Targus universal adapter on two laptops and have not had a problem with them.

Well, that sounds like a true-life experience product endorsement! Sounds good, man. I just don't wanna blow the thing up. Thanks for the help.

How's that working for you? How's your battery life these days, now that you've replaced it?
