    A friend just bought an Inspiron 15 and needs a car adapter for it. Dell is selling them for about $85. Are there any cheaper ones out there that will work just as good?

    Thanks!

    As usual, you can find these kind of things on eBay...

    Make sure you get a genuine Dell unit, though I don't think anyone makes fakes of the slim auto adapter, so you probably don't need to worry about getting a dud. I would make sure you get a 90W unit if your Inspiron 15 originally shipped with a 90W adapter even though the 65W unit would probably suffice.
