Why this charger is built for gaming laptops

Gaming laptops like the ROG Strix Scar series draw high power under load — the RTX 4080 or 4090 combined with an Intel i9 HX processor can pull over 250W during a gaming session. This 280W adapter delivers steady 20V with low ripple, ensuring your laptop runs at full performance without throttling. The 6.0mm × 3.7mm big barrel connector is physically locked into the laptop's DC jack, so no accidental disconnections during intense gameplay. At 45°C under full load, the brick is warm but well within safe limits — Asus magnetic shielding keeps interference away from nearby electronics.

Full specifications

Compatibility — which laptops does this fit?

This 280W Asus charger is the OEM-spec power adapter for:

Wattage and connector are the two factors that decide compatibility. The 6.0mm × 3.7mm big barrel connector physically matches only the listed models — do not force it into a different-size port. If you have a related but different model, WhatsApp us with the exact spec sticker text and we'll confirm before you buy.

What's in the box & build quality

Every charger we ship includes the brick-to-laptop cable (fixed), the Pakistan 3-pin C5 'mickey-mouse' wall cord, and a soft pouch for travel. Build quality on this Asus unit is exactly what came with the laptop new — same chassis injection, same internal magnetic shielding, same cable strain-relief.

What you get

• 1× Asus 280W adapter brick
• 1× Pakistan/UK 3-pin AC cord
• 30-day check warranty card

Real-world use — what to expect

Plug it in and the laptop charges at full speed: 0-50% in about 35-45 minutes on most modern Asus machines, full charge in 1.5-2 hours. The brick warms up to 40-45°C under load — that's normal for a switching power supply, not a defect. The white LED on the tip turns on the moment AC is connected, so you have instant visual confirmation the brick is alive even if the laptop battery is fully drained.

How to verify you've got the right charger

Three checks before you buy:

1. Wattage

Look at the sticker on the bottom of your current charger — if it says 280W, you're matched. A higher-wattage Asus charger is also safe (laptop only draws what it needs); a lower-wattage one will run the laptop but won't charge under heavy load.

2. Connector size

Use a calliper or compare to the sample photo. 6.0mm × 3.7mm big barrel is the only fit — don't force a wrong-size pin.

3. Voltage

Must be 20V. Never use a Asus charger from a desktop or printer — those are 12V DC and will damage the laptop board.

No questions asked within the warranty window. Each unit is bench-tested before dispatch to ensure output voltage stability, ripple, and protection circuits are working correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a higher-wattage charger instead?

Yes, higher wattage is safe as long as the voltage matches. A 305W or 325W Asus brick with the same 6.0mm × 3.7mm big barrel works fine and will not damage the laptop. The laptop only draws what it needs — extra headroom helps for fast-charge mode and heavy GPU loads.

What about the new USB-C version — should I switch?

If your laptop has a Thunderbolt or USB-C charging port (most Asus models from 2019 onwards do), USB-C PD is the future-proof choice — you can charge from any compatible 65W+ brick, phone bank, or hub. For older slim-tip / barrel models, stick with the original-style charger listed here.

Will this 280W charger work with my ROG Strix Scar 17?

Yes. This adapter outputs 20V at 14A which exactly matches the ROG Strix Scar 17 (and all other listed models). The 6.0mm × 3.7mm big barrel connector is the OEM specification — no adapter or convertor required. Plug it in and you're charging at full speed.

Is this an original or compatible charger?

Both options come through our stock. This unit is a genuine Asus pull-out from working laptops, fully tested for output voltage stability, ripple, and protection circuits. We also stock high-grade compatible versions if budget is tight — just tell us on WhatsApp 0314 4000131 which you prefer.

Longevity tips for your gaming charger

To extend the life of this charger, avoid wrapping the cable tightly around the brick — it stresses the internal wires. Keep the brick on a hard surface during use for airflow; a 45°C brick left on a carpet can overheat. If the LED flickers, unplug and inspect the connector for bent pins. These simple habits keep your charger working for years.
