    Can I use *any* 65W supply with this E1405?

    This E1405 shipped with a 19.5V/3.34A supply. Assuming I have the right connector, can I use a non-Dell supply capable of generating the same output?

    I'd like to have a supply in each of two offices, one at home, and one in the car -- and Dell, of course, is $$$.

    Yup. Targus power supplies work good.

    The only problem is that not all AC adapters are built as well and to the same specifications...and it could definitely void your warranty I believe if you used an off brand. Targus and Kensington would be good brands (didn't think of them WackyT so thanks), but I'd stick with them.
