Adapter for Toshiba Satellite C875‑S7138 19V 3.42A 65W – Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Matches the required power spec — ensures safe and stable operation for C875‑S7138 | 65 W output may be limiting under heavy workloads or power‑intensive applications (e.g. video editing, heavy multitasking) |
| Universal AC input (100–240 V) — travel‑friendly and resilient to voltage fluctuations | Uses barrel‑plug connector — less flexible than newer USB‑C or high‑power adapters |
| Compact, lightweight, and affordable (≈ KSh 1,500–2,000) — easy to carry or keep as backup | Quality may vary with generic adapters — important to confirm presence of proper safety protections and build quality |
| Built‑in protections (OVP, OCP, SCP, Thermal) — adds safety against electrical faults | Frequent plugging/unplugging may cause wear or loosening of the barrel plug over time |
Adapter for Toshiba Satellite C875‑S7138 19V 3.42A 65W – FAQs
-
Can I use a higher‑wattage adapter (e.g. 75 W or 90 W) instead of 65 W?
Yes — provided the adapter still outputs 19 V and uses the correct 5.5 mm × 2.5 mm barrel plug. A higher‑wattage adapter is generally backward‑compatible; the laptop will draw only as much power as it needs. -
Is it safe to use a third‑party (generic) adapter instead of the original?
Yes — if it matches the required specs (19 V / 3.42 A / 65 W), uses the correct plug size, and includes safety protections like over‑voltage, over‑current, short‑circuit, and thermal protection. -
Will this adapter work internationally (in other countries)?
Yes — thanks to its universal 100–240 V AC input, the adapter can operate under different mains voltages worldwide. You may need a plug‑type adapter depending on the destination’s socket type.
