    it wont damage it, work away

    in fact the 120watt one is better.

    90watts mean it can just handle that much current before it would run out of juice.

    as long as the voltage is 18.5v its good to go
    120watts is pretty high for a laptop, must be a pretty good spec hp

    thanx for the reply.
    in fact this 120watt ac adapter is for a hp dock station which has about more than 15 different ports,i think that's why it's very it's very powerful.:D
