Story: A plug for sanity

Same applies to laptops

The same could be said for laptop PSUs. I work in a school and have two sets of laptops. Each brand takes the same current and voltage, but have physically different power connections.

I have the constant problem of users forcing the wrong power supply into a laptop and breaking the connector which can be very expensive to repair.

A common standard may also reduce prices, currently at around £30 for a replacement PSU.

Please! Can laptops makers do the same and adopt a common standard.
