    Personally, I would get it from Dell. I thought I would save some money and I bought an AC adapter off Amazon. It is exactly the same as the stock one, same specs, same appearance, everything. Yet somehow my laptop knows the new one is not from Dell and refuses to use it at all.

    Thankfully with Amazon I am covered and can get a refund, but it is a hassle to send it back and everything. It really isn't worth the savings. Plus, from Dell it is not only guaranteed to work, but also has a 1 year warranty.
