Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First, the product specs posted as of 1/26/2011 are wrong (it lists specs for a stereo, not a notebook power supply). I've sent an e-mail to Amazon about this; hopefully it will be corrected soon.
Here are the correct specs from the manufacturer's web page:

This being said, this is a great value on a replacement notebook power supply.
I bought one of these on Black Friday as a second power supply for my Sony Viao. So far, so good - unlike cheaper generic units, it feels solid (likely better capacitors and transformer), works well and has a two year mfr. warranty.
A few of the selling points include:
* Decent size. Although not tiny, it is no larger than the original Sony adapter making it easy to carry in my notebook case.
* Auto adjust voltage. You simply match up the correct tip and hook it up. No worries about sending too much or too little voltage into your notebook PC.
* Better than average tip design. The connection bewteen the cord and the specific power tip used has locks on. It is almost impossible to accidentally knock it loose, reducing the chance you'll accidentally lose the connector tip.
* Based on my experience, SIIG is generally one of the better aftermarket brands for PC accessories. When I worked in retail, they had a relatively low DOA/return rate compared to many other brands.
The only things I'd check before buying this or any other aftermarket notebook power supply:
* Check both the voltage and amperage on your PC. This model is for notebooks between 15-19 volts. Be sure your PC is at or below the amperage this model delivers (ranging from 6A @ 15 volts to 4.7A @ 19 volts). Although this will work with the majority of models, if you have a 17"+ screen or a high-end processor, you may need a higher wattage model.
* Netbooks and very small screen (12") notebooks may use a 12-volt power supply. This model only works for units requiring bewteen 15-19 volts.
