Before you buy

Can I use a higher-watt charger?+

Yes — as long as the connector is the same (USB-C Power Delivery), a higher-wattage charger is completely safe. Your laptop only draws the power it needs, so a 130W or higher charger will charge it normally (often a little faster).

Can I use a lower-watt charger?+

Not recommended. Below 130W the charger may charge very slowly, only charge while the laptop is off, or fail to keep up under load — and the battery can still drain during heavy use. Stick to 130W or higher.

Will this damage my laptop?+

No. USB-C Power Delivery negotiates the correct voltage automatically, so there is no risk of over-volting. A correctly matched connector and sufficient wattage cannot damage your laptop.

Can I use USB-C instead?+

Yes — this laptop charges over USB-C. Any quality USB-C Power Delivery charger rated 130W or higher will work.
