Never buy cheapo no name power supplies. You can get used ones from a real brand for almost nothing online.
Especially for laptop power supplies since new those are really expensive, and knockoffs tend to do more damage than some 12v 1amp noisy brick.
I get used shit from the thrift or flea market. Like other used things, it's been driven and proven good.
