Can you give me some advice to choose the better one?
Thanks very much!

Neither, to be honest. Stick with quality brand name ones -- Cooler Master and FSP both make fine adapters. I use a Cooler Master and my colleague Jeremy here at APH uses FSP.

Thank you for your advice.Yeah,I search the fsp and cooler master at amazon,I find it's much expensive than the ravpower and rocketfish and one times more expensive.I cann't accept that price.The FSP has no much popularity and there are a few of customer reviews.Cooler master have no the stype I want.From these factors,I think ravpower and rocketfish are much suitable for me,price is cheaper.So can someone give me some advice to choose one of them from the point of view of the buyers.Thanks a lot!

Firstly welcome to APH!

For power adapters theyre cheap for a reason - they might blow. Watch up for the house fires

Not sure I think Rocketfish is better... but don't quote me on it.

I have clicked the two brand,in my opinion,I think ravpower is better.

How much do you want to spent? $10-15 is not a good idea tbh.

What makes you say that?

Probably because it costs more.

The following is my personal analysis why RAVPower is better:

The first reason,of course ,is the lower price.But the lower price is because this product is promoting and has a big discount.So it's a good chance to be catched.In my experience of shopping at amazon,to buy products during promotion period,always can get more benefits,because the opportunity is not always existing.

Secondly,the poster just need Toshiba replacement adapter,so the adapter of RAVPower is just produced for Toshiba,so it is a targeted product for the poster.Though Rocketfish also can suitable for Toshiba,it offer too much function,then reduce its pertinence.Generally,if one product has too many functions,its each function will work not well than the one product that specilized in one function.

Thirdly,if the poster buy Rocketfish,the other else connectors has no use for him,unless he has two or more laptops.So the poster has no need to buy the Rocketfish one.But for other users,maybe it can more suitable for users.

Uhh it's just a 19V adapter with different tips. This has nothing to do with specialization in function.

I saw this forum by chance and saw you were talking about Ravpower.It is coincidence that I purchased a Ravpower laptop battery to replace my original one on my DELL E1505 laptop which was in service since 2006.With the original battery installed and laptop running in unattended "idle mode", that battery would currently last for one hour and ten minutes. With this new battery installed and computer in "idle mode", the computer would stay running for longer than 5 hours. When using the computer for our normal activities, it appears the battery will last around 3.5 hours. The amount of battery time you will experience is dependent on several factors including hardware, power settings, applications running, internet access, etc. For my experience, this battery made a huge difference in battery up-time. One thing I did notice on our new battery, though, was that the battery indicator on the battery itself does not appear to function. I don't know if it is a "dummy" or it is indeed defective. In my opinion, unless you are a road warrior and have several batteries and you need to know which batteries have a sufficient charge, this battery indicator would be of little or no value.But it doesn't affect my normal use.And I write a review at amazon about it,then their customer service staff write email to me and tell me that battery indicator will light when charging, but need to press that white button at first,then I try it as they said,it indeed lights.I plan to upgrade it's review as ages.
