The HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor, rated 19.5V at 3.33A with a 4.8x1.7mm pin, is available at Mascom International for KSh 1,600, brand new and in stock. Those figures multiply out to 65 watts, delivered through a plug with a rounded, bullet-shaped nose. This is a replacement adaptor for HP laptops, matched to the older Pavilion, Envy and TouchSmart machines that HP built around the bullet tip. You can pick up the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor at our shop in Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it to your door the same day within Nairobi.
Built for university students, accountants, small shop owners and home users across Kenya who still depend on an older HP laptop, the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor fixes a frustrating problem. The original charger frays at the neck, gets left behind on a matatu, or fails after a power surge, and a laptop that still works ends up in a drawer. A correctly matched replacement puts it back on the desk for reports, spreadsheets, browsing and video calls. Its 65W output runs the laptop under a normal workload and charges the battery at the same time, so you never have to choose between working and charging.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops hand over a universal charger with a bag of loose tips, Mascom International sells the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor as a dedicated unit with the correct pin already attached. There is no tip to lose and no guessing which one fits. Customers across Nairobi tell us the hardest part is knowing which plug their laptop takes, so send your laptop model or a photo of your old adaptor label on WhatsApp and we will confirm the match before you pay. Walk in on Kimathi Street to collect the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor, or order with pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor
How much is the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor in Kenya?
The HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor costs KSh 1,600, brand new, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD. The price includes the adaptor with its attached DC cable, a detachable mains power cord and a 6-month warranty. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you inspect the unit before any money changes hands. Within our HP range, the HP 65W 7.4mm Laptop Adaptor is the same KSh 1,600, while the HP 65W Blue Pin Laptop Adaptor costs KSh 2,000, which is KSh 400 more.
Which HP laptops does the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor fit?
The HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor fits older HP Pavilion, Envy and TouchSmart laptops that take a 4.8x1.7mm bullet-shaped plug and run on 19.5V. HP used this tip across several generations, and some of those machines shipped with adaptors rated at a slightly different voltage. The safest check is the label on your old adaptor or the rating printed under the laptop. Send that label or your model number to +254 708 852 521 on WhatsApp, and Mascom International will confirm the fit before dispatch.
How is the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor different from HP's blue pin and 7.4mm adaptors?
The HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor uses a rounded 4.8x1.7mm plug, and it will not fit a socket built for HP's blue pin or 7.4mm plug. The blue pin is a slimmer plug with a blue tip, used on newer HP models. The 7.4mm plug is a wider barrel found on many ProBook, EliteBook and Compaq machines. All three come in 65W versions: the bullet and 7.4mm units cost KSh 1,600 each, and the HP 65W Blue Pin Laptop Adaptor costs KSh 2,000. Choose by the socket on your laptop, not by price.
Will the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor cope with KPLC power cuts and surges?
The HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor runs on Kenyan mains power, but like any adaptor it can be damaged by the surge that often follows a KPLC power cut. Plug it into a surge protector or a UPS instead of straight into the wall, especially where power drops several times a week. Unplug the mains cord during thunderstorms. Keep the brick on a hard surface so it can release heat, and wipe dust from the plug, because grit in the socket causes loose, crackling connections.
Can I use my laptop while the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor is charging it?
Yes, the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor powers the laptop and charges its battery at the same time, provided it matches the rating your laptop expects. Its 65W output covers office work, browsing, video calls and media playback. If your laptop shuts down the moment you unplug it, the battery is worn out, and that is a battery fault rather than an adaptor fault. You can test the adaptor on your own laptop at the Mascom International shop on Kimathi Street before you buy.
What does replacement adaptor mean for the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor?
It means the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor is a brand new unit made to the same 19.5V, 3.33A and 4.8x1.7mm specification as the adaptor your laptop came with, sold to replace one that is lost or broken. It is not a used or reconditioned charger pulled from another machine. Every unit carries a 6-month warranty from Mascom International. What matters for a safe fit is the voltage, the current and the pin size, and all three are printed clearly so you can compare them with your old label.
Who should buy the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor, and who should skip it?
Buy the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor if your HP laptop has a round socket that takes a bullet-shaped plug and your old adaptor reads 19.5V. It suits students, families and small offices keeping an older Pavilion or Envy running for schoolwork and admin. Skip it if your laptop charges through a USB-C port, because the HP Spectre 65W USB-C Laptop Adaptor at KSh 2,200 is the better fit. Skip it too if your socket takes a wider barrel, since the HP 65W 7.4mm Laptop Adaptor at KSh 1,600 suits those machines.
How do I make the HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor last on a daily commute?
The HP 65W Bullet Pin Laptop Adaptor lasts longest when you never wrap the cable tightly around the brick, because tight wraps split the cable where it meets the plug. Students heading to Kenyatta University and staff riding a boda boda into town should coil it loosely and carry the brick in a padded pocket, away from water bottles. Pull the plug out by its head, not by the cord. Avoid leaving it in a hot parked car, which ages the cable insulation faster.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Power Output
- 19.5V output — the voltage older bullet-tip HP Pavilion and Envy laptops are designed to accept, printed on the label as 19.5V.
- 3.33A current — the most the adaptor can supply at once; your laptop draws only what it needs at any moment.
- 65W total power — 19.5 volts multiplied by 3.33 amps, enough for office work, browsing and video calls while the battery charges.
- AC-to-DC conversion — the brick turns mains power from the wall socket into the steady direct current a laptop battery takes.
- Runs and charges together — keeps the laptop working on mains power while topping up a battery that has run low.
- Replacement for a lost or failed charger — brings back a laptop whose own adaptor has frayed, burnt out or gone missing.
- Charges with the lid closed — leave it connected overnight and the laptop starts the next morning on a full battery.
Compatibility and Connector
- 4.8x1.7mm connector — a barrel 4.8mm across with a 1.7mm inner opening, matching the charging socket on bullet-tip HP laptops.
- Bullet-shaped nose — the rounded tip slides cleanly into the socket and only fits laptops that HP built for this plug.
- HP Pavilion laptops of the bullet-tip era — many older Pavilion models charge through this plug shape and size.
- HP Envy and TouchSmart models — earlier Envy notebooks and TouchSmart touchscreen laptops that use the same bullet-shaped tip.
- Label check — compare the voltage, current and plug shape on your old adaptor with this unit before you buy.
- WhatsApp fit confirmation — send your laptop model or old label photo to +254 708 852 521 and get an answer before paying.
- Not for blue pin, 7.4mm or USB-C sockets — those HP laptops need a different adaptor from our HP range.
Build and Design
- Two-piece design — a separate brick and mains cord, so a damaged cord can be swapped without replacing the whole adaptor.
- Attached DC cable — runs from the brick straight to the laptop, with no loose tip to lose or mix up with another charger.
- Moulded plug head — gives your fingers something firm to grip, so you pull the plug out straight instead of tugging the cable.
- Warm brick under load — normal for any laptop adaptor; keep it on a hard surface so heat can escape.
- Brand new stock — never a used or reconditioned unit, with clean cables and an unworn plug straight from the packaging.
- Bag-friendly size — the brick and coiled cable fit in a laptop sleeve pocket beside a mouse, notebook and phone charger.
- Strain-prone joints — the cable is weakest where it meets the brick and the plug, so loose coiling helps the whole adaptor last longer.
Inclusions and Support
- Adaptor brick with attached DC cable — ends in the 4.8x1.7mm bullet-shaped plug, ready to connect to the laptop.
- Detachable mains power cord — links the brick to the wall socket; the plug type can be confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.
- 6-month warranty from Mascom International — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — inspect the adaptor when it reaches you, and pay only once you are satisfied with what arrived.
- Free pre-sale fit check — our team confirms that the pin size and voltage match your laptop before you commit to buying.
Package Contents
