    I hear that everyone's power brick that comes with the m1330 gets rather hot. I've got an older power brick from my d810 and was wondering if that would work with the m1330. Thanks

    I think not... The power/voltage ratings may be different, and the M1330 uses an octagonal jack, not a circular one.

    THat is totally not true. The old circular Dell adapters WILL ABSOLUTELY work with the M1330, just not the other way. If you look at the bottom of the computer it will say "For use with adapter PA-10, 12 or 21." In fact, I am using mine with the 90W adapter that came with my Inspiron 9400 currently.

    I haven't tested it yet because I just use the computer while it is plugged in usually. In fact, I have not even drained the battery beyond 90%. I will report back once I do.

    ok cool becuase the small power brick is 65w's not 90w and i wonder if it will start to loss its battery power faster
