    At home I've got original dell power supply, but at work I've got universal one. And my more powerful Lenovo laptop works without problem.

    But small m11x shows this error:

    And works at half speed. 3500 in 3dmark06 instead of 6500.

    P.S. Power-supply is for 120 watt

    Turn off adapter warnings in the power section of the BIOS and try again. This happens sometimes with non-Dell power adapters which is why it's always best to use genuine Dell adapters. Also make sure the aftermarket adapter you are using is made for DELL laptops with a 19.5V DC output.
