I probably don't need a universal auto power supply, but otoh, if I'd bought one for the last laptop, I wouldn't to spend 30 or so dollars for another one now. Some of them have 3 wires connecting the tips, one to tell the power supply what voltage to provide, I assume, but others have only 2. How can that be satisfactory. This one, for example. https://www.amazon.com/HKY-Universal-Notebook-Computer-Smartphone/dp/B0BZGSMLMP/ref=sr_1_1_sspa See the first picture. But it's $44, one of the most expensive. How could it not work right? https://www.amazon.com/Belker-Universal-Adapter-Charger-Toshiba/dp/B08LKXDBX3/ref=sr_1_1_sspa Smaller than most. Are they just trying to trade off the name Belkin? At first I thought it had to be good because it was Belker, but when writing this post, I remembered that it's Belkin that has a reputation, not Belker. !! 2) Some have 50W, 65W or even 100W. What could need 100W? I currently have a Dell Latituded 5510 (not the other Dell 5510). Surely 65 w is enough or even 50. ????
