Hi Mary,
Unfortunately its unlikely that you can use them across laptops as the
voltage may be different, power outputs may be different and pinouts may
also not be consistent (i.e. -ve on centre pin and +ve on outside and vice
versa if the connectors are even the same). I wouldn't risk it as at best
it might work, at worst might catch fire and also might damage the circuitry
in the laptop.
Best wishes, Ant.

Subject: Techie question: are chargers for laptops interchangeable?
I have three laptops now - an old Toshiba, a Vye and an Asus eee.
All have chargers - but the eee one is like a mobile phone charger -
very light and convenient: the other two are heavy.
Are laptop chargers interoperable, and would I damage my other laptops
by trying out the eee charger?
