    Hello, I did a D830 configuration with an addtional power adapter, but I noticed it is "90 Watt Additional AC Adpater with 3' Power Cord". Only 3'? Isn't it too short? How long is the original D830 power adapter?

    Or should I eBay one that is longer?

    Regards,
    David

    On one side of the brick is a 3' cord that plugs into wall outlet and then the other side that plugs into laptop is 5 or 6 foot (sorry didn't measure it).
