What is the correct power adapter for this PowerBook G4 Titanium?

It's a first generation 15" Titanium PowerBook G4 Model #: M5884 - It's rated 28Vdc-1.607A Max

I have 2 choices for replacement adapters - 45W DC24V 1.875A, or 65W DC24V 2.65A.

I have found numerous conflicting sites for each adapter and just need to know which is correct.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PowerBook G4 Titanium, Other OS, Power adapter

Get a 65W adapter. That machine was originally shipped with a 45W adapter, but the design of the 65W unit has been updated and improved more often and more recently, and it's a better value. The machine will only use as much power as it needs; the 65W adapter can't damage it.

I use a much older version of this.

It works great and can power pore than just your laptop. The one that I have powers a phone at the same time and works anywhere.

The 40W output of that iGo adapter is insufficient for any Powerbook G4 model, and in fact a note on the page you linked says "Not for use with full-sized laptops." This is NOT a auitable adapter.
