    Hey, is it just me or are the details for the laptops on Dell's site lacking on the minor parts?? I'm wondering what is the wattage for the Vostro 1400, Inspiron 1420, XPS m1530, and XPS m1330 are. Are they all 65W? Dell should have an option like the Latitudes to be able to pick the primary A/C adapter wattage, 130W A/C adapters would be nice :D

    The m1530 has the 90w.

    130W would definitely not be nice; it would increase the size and weight of the power adapter, which is never welcome. 90W is sufficient for ExpressCharge, what more are you looking to get from a bigger power adapter?

    If you use a power supply rated for more current, it would be handling a smaller load percentage and therefore last longer.
