Can this device charge while using the laptop? Probably charges slower than the power consumption I guess, anyone tried with the 14W?

No. This will not anywhere near charge while the laptop is active. It'll be best to charge the laptop while it's completely off. It'll take abit to charge compared to it's required amp's from it's wallplug system. But it will charge while it's off.

Hi Actually your laptop need 45W (19V 2.37A) and this charger Output: 19V 3.42A. so the output is more than you need it, its working but not good for your laptop and Hardware..... ,search to charger output 2.37 A Best Regards Eng.Yasser

Unless you have special equipment I would say NO. The charge is released by 2 USB ports not from a wall outlet so for a standard laptop that charges by wall outlet you can't plug it in. You would need to convert from DC to AC current and then adapt the plug type from 3 prong to USB. Also the amperage of the charge produced from the larger USB outlet on this device is 5 amps. That is a very slow charge in laptop terms. It would at best slow down your drain rate while the laptop is turned.

It would be 2 hours if the laptop was using 65W - chances are that the laptop battery lasts 4 hours because it's using less than 65W - a quick test would be to use the laptop while connected to the charger - if the battery charges up (from not at 100%), then the laptop would be using less than 65W, with the remainder of that going into the battery.

Wanda- I have this charger and use it on a brand new HP Envy 15" (not sure of the model). It does work and comes with a variety of plugs and connectors. It is smaller (thinner) than the standard charger but that comes with a price. Even at 90 watts it is under powered for a quad core laptop. It runs hot and if I am really challenging the processors I will get drop-outs (for lack of a better word) where the charger just can't keep up with the load. It's not enough to reject the charger but you have to be aware that it can't do what it's big brother does. I would prefer a 120 watt charger but this one works for travelling. I would probably give it 3-1/2 stars. Good luck!!

There's no way of charging it before you install it. It has to be in the laptop in order to charge it.

I've only tried it with the computer/laptop and it works. And just with any other device, you'll get a faster charge if you leave it on standby for a couple of minutes.

Yes we can charge using laptop. But I do not think it is holding the charge too much time .

Charging? I only connect it once a week or so, I believe it interferes with other running programs. Its dialog box is not user friendly. You really have to dig to make it work your way. Still, it is quite useful.

It works when I connect it to my laptop by USB to charge. Ie constant charge. I have not tried to use it when I plug it into the mains. I have always charged it from my laptop.

Absolutely, I had the exact same issue, both the supplied power adapter and a back adapter failed. I bought this one and it's charging since then. I would recommend trying this.

I just bought an open box Asus 1005HA PU1X BLK with a faulty power supply. The problem with mine is that the thermal fuse shuts down the charging function by opening the circuit presumably due to overcurrent or heat. The supply cools down and after removing the plug and then plugging it back in resumes charging. The computer itself works very nicely. So charging its doable but slow. I will hold on to the purchase and wait for an opportunity to swap the power supply for one that works somewhere down the line.

I guess I am the odd man out in this one. I love mine. Works good. Are you sure you got a good charge? When the unit is charging you get a visual indication on the screen that it is being charged. If you do not then maybe the connection to your power source is not seeded correctly. I plug mine into a usb port on my windows7 desktop, it recognizes it and starts charging right away.

N7100 prefers 130W charger. It can use 90W but will give you a warning when you start up--as I just discovered. My 130W stopped working so I tried the 90W from my smaller laptop; it works but not ideal.

Yes it works just like charging your phone with a usB charger to your PC. It's slow , nothing like charging directly to power outlet

I am using it with a Black & Decker PS140 Power Pack Type 3 14.4 V. It seems to be charging. The only possible issue is that the red charging light never goes out, so I am not sure how long I should be letting it charge. As I mentioned in my review, I may need to get a new battery. I do not have the instruction book.
