Wherever you end up buying this, please consider spending the extra money on getting an official charger rather than a universal or chinese copy. It really isn't worth burning your house down.
My partner broke her charger and bought a universal one. After 30 mins or so of use it would heat up to tremendous temperatures so hot that you couldn't touch it.0 -
but this does not tell me what i am looking for,or where to buy from on the notebook i listed?Treat everyday as your last one on earth! and one day you will be right.0

It's one of several "let me google that for you" sites produced so smart alec posters can try to belittle those who ask rather naive questions. IMO it wins them no respect.0

Don't be an idiot. I used that format to give the OP a choice of where to purchase.
Why should it be considered a naive question?
I put the brand and part number within the post and used the LMGTFY format to give the OP a choice of stockist.
So the ''smart alec poster'' here is you for posting off topic and worse still, being wrong.0 -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_me_Google_that_for_youSince the rise of the Web, pervasive internet connectivity, and ubiquitous search, a similar type of response has involved the idea that by asking questions that could easily be answered by even the most cursory, obvious search, the user embarrasses himself by showing that the very idea of searching before asking didn't even occur to him. The most common variants of this type are GIYF ("Google is your friend") and LMGTFY ("let me google that for you"), both with a tone of patronizing helpfulness (with varying degrees of sarcasm).
But of course you were just being helpful.0 -
Others could argue that the minute you use wikipedia as a viable source of any kind of knowledge you have revealed more than you meant to0

If that's a clever response I'll freely admit to being too dense to understand it. LMGTFY has been a well known insult for a very long time and I really don't think it appropriate to use it on a site such as this.0
