I'm trying to decide on a 19V external adapter to pair with a 160W 19V internal DC-DC unit.
In many reviews it's been suggested that any laptop 19V adapter will work fine.
But I remember reading in another thread (I think here on SFF) that laptop adapters do not handle peak surge current requirements very well as they are usually designed to charge laptop batteries where the demand is more stable.
If this is the case does it make sense to purchase a laptop 19V adapter? Or is it better to go with the kits that comes with the DC-DC unit?
I have no electronics experience whatsoever so any input is appreciated. Apologies if this is a dumb question.
