Fucking worthless niggershit. Found my computer model on their compatibility chart, and while the power output is fine, the adapter tip barely stays in the input on the computer. Tried it with the laptops of three friends, all of whom have computers listed on the chart, and none of the tips included with the adapter work any better on their models.
Targus=worthless niggershit.

actually I've sold a bunch of these things
Normally only for people who have older laptops that I can't easily get the genuine Toshiba/HP/IBM adapter for, as the Targus universal is generally a bit more expensive than a brand one

My brother also had one of these for a Dell laptop and I believe it lasted a few months and crapped out. Had the same problems with the adapters which I believe led to the demise of the thing.
Stick to buying replacements from the manufacturer

I have ordered the exact model of the adapter that came with my laptop. Unfortunately, when the last one broke (I dropped it), I needed something that night, so I went to CompUSA and got the targus.
