All electronics say the voltage and amperage they need, it isn't really that big of a problem, especially on a $200 laptop. It isn't a big deal that a bare bones laptop doesn't negotiate its power over USB-C. Polarity on barrel jacks is pretty standard. You look at the voltage and make sure your ACDC adapter can supply enough amps. In a situation like this you could buy an ACDC adapter off of amazon from dozens of different places.
