    I'm not sure. But I recommend you to buy a 240W Alienware M17X Adapter instead of 150W Adapter of M15X.

    It may be around $60

    I highly do NOT recommend a cheapo 3rd party adapter. You'll likely burn out the brick, or possibly the motherboard. The problem with the 3rd party generic AC adapters is their quality is unknown and they are potentially dangerous. Get a genuine Delta/Flextronics 150 watt or higher rated adapter.
