I am totally lost on understanding most electronics/power
requirements, so please forgive me for the following. :)


I have a laptop. On the power adapter, it has the following specs:

input: 100-240V ~ 1.6A 50-60 Hz (-)---(o---(+)
output: 18.5V 3.5A LPS

I want to know if I can use this second power supply for my laptop, or
will it fry my system?

input: 100-240V ~ 1.8A 50-60 Hz (-)---(o---(+)
output: 19V 3.16A


Mostly the part I need to know is do all the numbers have to match
*exactly*? Or can I have, say, a higher Amp value and still be OK? I
guess it is mostly the output that I need to be concerned about, is
that correct?

TIA.

- Jamie
