Not an identical match (the logo is not centred on that one) but pretty
close.

Which leads me to:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/HYUNDAI-14-Inch-Hybook-4GB-RAM-128GB-Storage-Windows-10-Home-Laptop-Intel-Celeron-N4020-Expandable-microSD-Slot-Up-256GB-14-1-IPS-Display-WiFi-Blueto/266069040

(something odd about the pictures there - it appears to have two microSD
slots.  I wonder if they've been letting AI near the pictures...)

7.4V battery according to the specs.  

I managed to find 3 power adapters on ebay and Amazon for it, however:
One just says Output: 20W Max
Another looks like AI has mangled the text

This one has the output specs blanked out:
https://www.amazon.com/Kircuit-HT14CCIC44EGH-HT14CCIC44EGP-HT14CCIC81EG-HTLB14INC4Z4ES/dp/B0CPPMTJYB
but the description says 12V.

So I suppose 12V 2A would do it.  That sounds right for a 7.4V two-cell
battery and a buck converter to charge it.

It's a $150 laptop that everyone says is awful, so I wouldn't spend too much
on it :-)  But you probably have a 12V adapter lying around anyway.
