In the past, I have not had much luck with replacement charging adapters for laptops or power cables for Mini PCs. I'm usually replacing a cord that I have lost or damaged. or a cord for an item that I purchased at a discount because it didn't come with a power cable. in these situations, I tend to be happy, if I can manage to get the item to charge with it at all. But this cord purchase was different. it is an extra cord for a windows laptop that gets so much use that i find i need an extra cord.
i was worried because in the past, when replacement cords do not work well, it seems using them is unhealthy for the electronics & i wouldn't want to do anything to hurt this laptop.
i am very happy with it. it arrived quickly. it was priced lower than any others that shipped quickly. i plugged it in and it began charging without any fiddling or positioning. [if you're reading this and you have purchased replacement cords in the past you know exactly what I'm talking about when I say fidgeting and positioning if you hadn't then this is something for you to be aware of with cords that you buy as replacements; often they work as long as you're willing to have your device sit in a very specific position or place the cord in a specific position or mess around with them until they begin charging}
i have also been able to use the computer while it was plugged in and charging with out the unusual behavior(keyboard & mouse mis-function) that can come with non oem chargers.
This is what i was most nervous about. There is an antenna issue that effects the screen of this particular Lenovo 2 in 1. The problem is a difficult fix and got worse and worse until it became impossible to use when it is not plugged in. However, when plugged into an AC power outlet it seems to ground and works most of the time.(sounds crazy but since grabbing it in the right spot and becoming an antenna extension also works i'm convinced)
i HAVE NOT had adequate opportunity to really test the cord using the computer while plugged in. Since plugged in operation is a huge problem with replacement cords I will definitely update this review.
I was already contacted by the seller and vendor who wanted to be sure I was not having any troubles with the cable and to ensure me that they were there to help should I have any problems. That is why I am leaving a review this early on in the purchase.
If you are in a hurry to get this replacement cord and get it at an affordable price I am already prepared to recommend this item & seller to you. i am confident it will charge your device(if your device is listed. there is a very compete list at the bottom of the page, i found my model # there.) i also believe that if you have any problems with it, the seller will take care of you. That being said, I will still put the cord through some more practical paces and update my review before Thanksgiving.- Lisa
