    I got my Vostro 1500 today, and it came with a 90 watt power supply. Can I use this with my Latitude D630 in place of its 65 watter, or do I need to keep both plugged in?

    Thanks so much!

    Provided the voltage and the plug are the same then you should have no problem using the 90W PSU instead of the 65W PSU. However, it may not work the other way round. A 90W PSU is normally provided when you have dedicated graphics and the 65W with integrated graphics.
