I bought 2 of these and they stopped working after less than one month. Do not buy it.
Terrible quality - likely destructive to laptop

The adaptor lasted less than a month. The cords themselves were fine (my previous one frayed), but when I plugged the adaptor in, it triggered almost an epileptic state in my laptop: monitor flashing on and off rapidly, and crashing if I didn't unplug immediately.
Do NOT buy this. Suck up the more expensive cost for a real Lenovo adaptor. It won't last long, but at least it won't cause your laptop to destroy itself.
not as-pictured, but close enough

Got this as a replacement for the original (3+ year old) original brick for my T60p (20V large-grey-plug.) I've used it full-time (including leaving the laptop plugged in while hibernating at night) for 6 weeks, and haven't had any trouble with it - it doesn't even run particularly warm, even if I've run down the 9-cell.
That said, the picture is misleading (which I've filed separately) - the Lenovo/IBM markings are shown; the one actually shipped has much less text on it, and "DekCell" instead of IBM or Lenovo on the front. Also, as pictured (but unlike the original) it has a three-wire cable - safer, but it meant digging up a new 6" power cord instead of reusing the one from the original (two-wire) brick.
In other words, it's inexpensive because it's an off-brand replacement, not because it's leftover inventory - which is fine with me, but it should have been marked as such going in.
Ok, but the cord wears out over time.

This charger is ok for the price but after 6 months of use the cord starts pulling out and you see the wires hanging out. Still works but I am wondering how long it will last at this rate.
This product does not deserve its negative reviews

Reviewer: Oliver Dunne,
I don't know who is making this adapter, I just came over this looking for a new adapter for my v100. It's strange that although my v100 lists its maximum output wattage as 65, the official Lenovo site tells me I should buy a 90W adapter. Although the other sane review on this item said the negative reviews were from people making a mistake, I think this is the correct adapter to buy. I'm guessing Lenovo made a mistake initially, and the shipped AC adapter is too low a wattage, which is why my laptop always overheats with it, and why my batteries have only 20 minutes of life after a year of use. In any event, this adapter is CE certified. The reviews saying his laptop adapter melted, or caught fire or something were total BS. These negative reviews are all similar - ridiculous hyperbole bordering libel, most appeared around the same time, and have reviewers with names like Professor Plum or something. These reviewers have no other reviews, or reviews made around the same time of random products all getting glowing reviews in broken English. Exercise some discretion when reading reviews.

Very bad quality
