SKOTSLYE 45W Laptop Charger (19.5V 2.31A, 4.5mm x 3mm) for compatible HP models
Product description
What it is and why you might need it
If your HP laptop charger has gone missing, stopped charging reliably, or you just want a spare for home and the office, this SKOTSLYE 45W Laptop Charger is designed for that exact, practical scenario. On paper, it’s a 45W adapter built around a 19.5V 2.31A output, using a 4.5mm x 3.0mm (blue tip) connector.
Where it fits best is pretty clear: it’s intended as a compatible replacement for a wide range of specific HP Stream, Pavilion, EliteBook, Spectre x360 x2, ProBook, Chromebook and some TouchSmart / Split-series configurations listed by the manufacturer. If your priority is not to overthink things—get the right voltage/current and the right barrel connector—this kind of charger can be a sensible buy.
That said, it’s not a universal charger for every device with an HP badge. Compatibility depends on the exact model list and the connector size, so it’s worth checking before you assume it’ll work.
The essentials (specs that matter for day-to-day use)
The most important buying details here are the electrical output and the connector tip. This charger is specified as:
- Input: AC 100-240V 1.5A 50-60Hz
- Output: 19.5V 2.31A (45W)
- Connector tip: 4.5mm x 3.0mm (blue tip)
Those numbers matter because a charger that matches voltage and the physical plug is the baseline for safe, correct operation. If your current charger doesn’t share the same voltage or uses a different barrel size, this one may not be the right match—even if the laptop is “supposed” to be compatible within the same general family.
Compatibility list: broad on paper, still not “every HP”
SKOTSLYE states compatibility with a long list of HP models, including examples such as HP Stream 11 / 13 / 14 X2 TouchSmart 15-n / 15-f, Spectre x360 x2 11 / 13, and certain EliteBook 840 / 850 models. It also mentions ProBook 430 and a range of other Stream / Pavilion / Chromebook and Split / x360 x2 variants.
The practical way to use that list is simple: find your exact model (often printed on the laptop label) and check it’s included. If you can’t find a match or you’re unsure whether your model corresponds to one of the entries, it may not suit you.
It’s a good fit if you’ve confirmed your HP model is on the compatibility list and your current charger uses the same 4.5mm x 3.0mm blue-tip style.
It might not be a great match if you’re looking for a charger “for most HP laptops” without checking the model or connector.
What stands out (and what’s a limitation)
The strong point of this SKOTSLYE adapter is straightforward: it’s set up as a replacement charger with a clearly stated 19.5V 2.31A output and the 4.5mm x 3.0mm connector. For many buyers, that’s the difference between “it just works” and endless cable/charging frustration.
Where you may need to be a bit careful is the breadth of the model list. The list is extensive, but that doesn’t remove the need for verification. Also, because you don’t get extra guidance here like step-by-step compatibility checks, you’ll need to rely on your laptop’s model name/number and the physical connector size you’re currently using.
In other words: no, it’s not perfect for guesswork buyers. It’s a good buy for anyone who can do a quick check first.
Practical buying tips before you order
Before purchasing, do these quick checks so you don’t end up with a charger that physically fits but isn’t correct for your device:
- Check your current adapter’s voltage and connector size (look for something equivalent to 19.5V and 4.5mm x 3.0mm if possible).
- Confirm your exact HP model is included in the provided compatibility list.
- Note that the connector tip is specified as 4.5mm x 3.0mm with a blue tip, so don’t ignore colour/shape cues.
If you’re buying a spare, it also helps to think about where you’ll use it most: desk, travel bag, or home bedside charging. A second charger is often the simplest way to avoid downtime when cables get moved around.
Usage scenario: a realistic everyday example
Imagine you’re heading to work with a compact HP Stream or Pavilion laptop. Your main charger lives at home, but you don’t want to risk forgetting it. If your laptop model is one of the compatible ones and it uses the 4.5mm x 3.0mm connector, adding this 45W adapter as a second charger can make daily charging feel effortless—plug in at your desk, power up, and only carry the laptop.
What you get in the box
The package includes:
- 1x AC adapter
- 1x AC power cable
So you’re not just getting the “brick” without the lead—you should have the full setup ready to use once it’s matched to your laptop.
Buying verdict
It makes sense if you need a 45W replacement charger for a listed compatible HP laptop and you’ve matched the key details: 19.5V 2.31A output and the 4.5mm x 3.0mm blue-tip connector.
You may want to skip it if you can’t confirm your exact HP model is included, or if your current charger’s voltage/connector size doesn’t align. In that situation, it’s safer to choose a charger based on confirmed compatibility rather than hoping.
For buyers who like to keep a spare at work (or who are replacing a failing adapter), this is the kind of dependable, no-drama charger that can earn its place—provided you do the basic checks first.
Quick FAQ
Is this charger suitable for all HP laptops?
No. It’s intended for specific compatible HP models listed in the product details, and the connector type (4.5mm x 3.0mm) also needs to match.
What matters most: voltage or the connector?
Both matter. The charger is specified at 19.5V 2.31A (45W) and uses a 4.5mm x 3.0mm blue-tip connector, so you should match what your laptop expects.
Does it come with an AC power cable?
Yes. The box includes the AC adapter and an AC power cable.
I’m not sure of my exact HP model number—what should I do?
If you can’t confirm the exact model is in the compatibility list, it may not suit you. Double-check the model name/number printed on the laptop before buying.
