    Are there any auto/air/ac adapters for the m1330?

    I just looked through dell's site and couldn't find any.
    The most compatible thing I found was this, even though the m1330 wasn't listed under the compatibility..I guess they haven't updated yet:
    http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=310-8814

    I would think that any adapter with a correct voltage/watt/that circular plug shape would work

    For example, this m1210 adapter looks nicer, in my opinion, but do you guys think it's compatible wiht the m1330?

    That adapter should work. Their psu's are very interchangeable and not machine specific.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking...
    As long as the voltage/watt is correct and the cable has a circular connector thing...it should work...
    I'll probably be getting the m1210 one.. :D
    My 200 dollar promotion gift card should be arriving soon..^__^

    Actually...I am using the M1210 slim one on my M1330 and it just works perfectly. The only thing is that the adapter's head is circular while the hole of M1330 is an octagon...

    Oh, so the shape doesn't match up but it still works? :O
    It's not loose or anything?

    Thanks!
    That's just awesome, the m1210 adapter just looks way better,IMO, since it's all black compared to the other one...with the giant dell badge and silver coloring =P

    Haha, So now, once I get that $200 promotion card
    I'll be spending it on:
    1. Slim adapter $80
    2. Halo 2 $50
    3. Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse $50
    4. Printer Cable $25

    XD

    Alex, could you post a picture of yours? I'm wondering about the length of the power cords themselves and the size in relation to the m1330. Thanks!

    In case you're interested, I'd do the following, instead:

    1. Slim Adapter - $80
    2. Halo 2 - $50
    3. Dell Travel BT Mouse - $25
    4. 10-foot USB cable - $12
    5. Something(s) else with the $30-$35 remaining.

    By the way, AFAIK, the M1330 is intended to be compatible with the older round adapters; Dell didn't want the new ones adapter to be used on old machines, so they changed the new adapter to be multi-sided rather than round.

    A word about the BT Mouse. With certain networks, my Wi-Fi drops every minute or so when I use the BT mouse, but works like a charm after I turn it off.

    Nice, thanks a lot! It's odd that Dell doesn't elaborate on the length of the cords, only giving you this misleading picture:
    [​IMG]

    It looks great in your picture, though.

    Also, I see you have the VX, I went with the nano for when I'm on the move and I have the MX for my desk. Best mice ever!

    Well, the pic from Dell is ALSO true. The set came with TWO sockets, one long (the one that I am using) and one short (shown in Dell's pic)

    For the mouse, I got mine when nano wasn't released...but I love my VX. For my desk, I use Logitech's MX 510, which is cool for me.
