    I have looked myself for the same thing. as far as I can tell the stock Dell one is about as small as is made with 150w. I did end up buying a 150w universal one off ebay that was less wide and a little shorter, but thicker. It also had a LCD display and touch activated voltage button that would be very easy to inadvertently change the voltage by holding it or picking it up and touching the button spot to long. other than that all the other 150w ones I can find are larger than the stock unit.

    What about taking a smaller one with lower output, and living with the extended recharge times?
