Power adapter HP 230W Smart Slim — compatible HP notebook power supply, model M52948-001

HP 230W Smart Slim power adapter is a replacement compatible power supply designed for HP notebooks that require up to 230 watts. The unit offers a slim, compact housing that simplifies transport and saves desk space while delivering stable power for charging and operating supported laptops. The adapter incorporates power factor correction (PFC) for improved electrical efficiency and reduced input current distortion, and it is intended as a direct functional substitute for original larger adapters when a lighter, more compact solution is preferred.

Advantages

The slim profile reduces bulk without sacrificing power output, making it easier to carry with a laptop or store in a bag. Built-in PFC helps maintain consistent voltage under varying loads and improves overall energy efficiency. The adapter provides a reliable single-source power delivery for compatible HP notebooks and supports both charging the battery and running the system under heavy workloads. Its compact design also improves workspace ergonomics by minimizing cable and brick footprint.

Suitable for

• Charging and powering HP notebooks that require up to 230 W
• Replacing a lost or damaged original HP power adapter with a compatible alternative
• Use in office, home, or travel environments where a compact, portable adapter is preferred
• Powering laptops during high-performance tasks such as graphics, CAD or data processing

Key specifications

• Maximum output power: 230 watts
• Form factor: slim, compact external AC adapter
• Input: standard AC mains (universal input range typical for laptop adapters)
• Efficiency support: built-in power factor correction (PFC)
• Intended use: charges battery and supplies power to compatible HP notebooks

How to use

Connect the adapter to an appropriate AC mains outlet using the supplied mains lead, then attach the adapter output connector to the laptop power inlet. Ensure the laptop is compatible with a 230 W supply before use. When connected, the adapter will supply power to the notebook and charge the battery as needed. If the laptop remains off or in low-power states, the adapter will only provide the required standby current. Avoid twisting or sharply bending the cable and position the adapter so cooling vents are unobstructed.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter on a hard, flat surface with adequate ventilation and disconnect from mains before cleaning. For reliable operation, inspect cables periodically for wear and replace any damaged leads. Verify laptop compatibility and power requirements to ensure correct operation and prevent overload. Avoid exposure to liquids, extreme temperatures, and prolonged direct sunlight.
