Original (OEM) parts are made or approved by the laptop maker, and compatible parts are made by other companies to fit. Compatible parts can be good value, but quality varies, especially for batteries and chargers where a poor part can overheat. Ask the seller whether the part is original or compatible, which models it fits and what guarantee comes with it, and avoid unlabelled parts for safety-critical items such as batteries and chargers.
Key takeaways
- Ask original or compatible.
- Be strictest about batteries and chargers.
- Check the fit list and guarantee.
- Avoid unlabelled parts.
