    Commonly used SMD capacitors

    I'm hoping to order some SMD capacitors for the first time and I was wondering which size and value are mostly used in laptops. I'm looking to buy an assortment of capacitors. Any thoughts?

    Are you looking for ceramic, tantalum, or both?

      Sorry I didn't specify that. Ceramic.

        I needed 10UF/25V 0805 X5R/+/-10% to repair my Asus, as a start of the list

          You can buy assortments in the different sizes from Aliexpress, cut down strips either loose or in sample books.

            I add 100n 0805/0603 to the list, nearly all ICs are decoupled with one more of them.
            This is one of my most used parts in new designs, but they rarely fail.
