Destroyed Your OEM PSU?

Notebooks have an unnecessarily hard life. People tote them just about everywhere, but most of them are no more rugged than a child’s plastic toy. In spite of batteries (or perhaps because of), people tether their portable computers to their power adapters all of the time, which have a tendancy to get tugged, pulled and bent, eventually resulting in a broken power brick.

Buying a replacement power adapter for your notebook is practically an inevitability, so why not purchase one a “universal” adapter that can be used with your other (or future) notebook computers? What features should you look for when shopping for one of these items, anyway?
