Why Use HP Smart Adapters for Increased Performance?

The 90W smart adapters are specifically designed for use with high-performance HP and Compaq notebooks, to keep them running at peak energy efficiency. The adapters reduce power consumption after the computer reaches its maximum energy rating, to ensure efficient power usage. In addition, HP smart adapters have a built-in surge protector to protect against electrical spikes and keep the computer operating within a safe voltage range.

HP smart adapters also help to avoid performance issues that can occur when using an adapter that does not have the correct power rating or the features of a smart adapter, such as those designed for use on an airplane or in a car. Using a substandard adapter, or one that does not deliver the full 90W of power to the notebook, can result in system errors, usually indicated by a blinking battery light and an on-screen message, caused by insufficient power to operate the computer.

You do not need to have a power connector with a smart-pin configuration to enjoy the benefits of HP smart adapters, as many of them are available with a dongle that can interface with HP and Compaq power connectors, even if they do not have smart-pin. Maximize the performance of your high-performance HP or Compaq notebook computer with an HP smart adapter.
