Laptop adaptor

Anyone know where I can get a cheap laptop adaptor for a Samsung laptop? I've seen Kensington ones in Argos for £43.99 (online exclusive) and other ones a bit more in PC World.

I'd prefer to go for original parts and found a Samsung one in Partsmaster for £35.99, so I'll probably go for that one. Unless anyone knows of a better offer anywhere else. I checked on the Samsung website but it says they're out of stock.

Would I get a non original one cheaper than the above prices, and if so, would it be any good?

    Which model? There are thousands of Samsung laptops.
    Yes, the clone ones are much cheaper, start with ebay if you want a non-original.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I have to agree that buying Samsung OEM instead of generics is a sensible choice. Although they are usually made by a third party like Delta or similar anyway.

    Ebay is by far your best bet - you can usually get a new original OEM part for £20-£25. Lots of people sell PSUs on there that they no longer need. Try either searching for your laptop model, or for the model number of the specific PSU that your laptop requires.
