there wont be a problem with anything blowing up, voltage is similar enough, its just able to supply half the amprage of the real one so charging will be slower

yeah I noticed it charges kind of slow and downclocks the cpu, gpu when trying to game. good I don't want it to blow up in my face while im using it lol and hopefully the psu ratings are similar enough to where it wont cause any negative effects whatsoever, I just got this laptop lol

Lower wattage, slightly higher voltage and twice less current.. Your battery will charge slower?

I hope that's the only thing and nothing serious lol

You've got nothing to worry about, like others said the voltage is close enough that it won't cause any issues with your laptop, aside of it charging and performing a little bit slower on a daily basis as you noticed, but it'll work the same as before once you get the right charger connected.
