    Looking in this forum and I am not sure if I missed a search term but I would like to know if I can purchase a lighter and or smaller power adapter for travel? I realize that a smaller adpater will not charge the laptop, and that would be better than carrying a heavy adpater.Would a 120W adapter work say like this one?

    Thanks for comments.

    Forget about it. Dell says they have nothing and don't recommend or support anything else other than the stock adpater.

    Thanks anyways.
