Do all Lenovo 20V Thinkpads use the same tip?

[joydivision]

I have only ever seen the big large tips, my Thinkpad X200 charger is broken so need to order a new one, I don't trust all the cheap brands on ebay, I usually use Lavolta but it doesn't say it will work with an X200, however mine is 20v and is 65w so as long as it has the same tip it will work.

Does anybody know what tip the laptops listed on this listing have?

Its a pretty generic tip for the Lenovo. You will find it on the X60's, Z60, W400, T500, X200 and X300. Basically its the large barrel with signal pin. Targus calls it a L112 or R or 204 tip All those listed in your link use the same tip. When possible I would go for a higher wattage than needed.

ps - Lavolta is just a branded charger from china that many resellers use with their own brand.

I know it is all made in China, but there is a difference, some of it is crap some of it is good. It is the importers you place the trust in, I've bought a few fake genuine items on ebay, so I always stick to brands like Anker and Lavolta now.

The Lavolta chargers are designed and tested in the UK, and then made in China.

The Lavolta stuff always feels a lot better made than the cheap ebay stuff I just wanted to double check about the tip, I've only ever seen the big 20v on Lenovos which is the one I have. I know higher watts is better, but my laptop is very basic, has a 12" screen and no optical drive, so it doesn't draw much power. If Lenovo says 65w is fine then I am happy with that.
