Replacement Adapter for laptop

So i just got this chinese replacement power adapter for my comp, and before plugging it in, I was reading the back. looks like the original says:

input: AC 100-240V 1.5A 50-60Hz
output: DC 15V 4A

and the new one says:

input: 100-240V 1.8A 50-60Hz
output: DC 15V 5A

Is this going to make any difference? and if so-what?

don't know much (anything) about electric currents except that the original is pumping max 60 Watts and the replacement has a max of 75... so i'm kinda a little worried even though i'm 99% sure it's fine..

Thanks!
 
As long as the Polarity on the power plug into the Laptop Matches your old unit, you
will be fine. All that indicates is it can supply 5 Amps of current, which is 1 Amp more
than your old unit. More current from the power supply will not hurt anything. Devices
only take as much current as they need to run. A higher output voltage, however, will
damage components, unless the component is designed to regulate the voltage
downward, if needed.
 
As long as the polarity of the connector is the same and the connector physically fits, you are fine.
