    I am looking for a travel charger for my Dell notebooks. I think they both use the same one. But I am trying to keep the size of the chargers down!

    How about the Finsix Dart? It's good for up to 65W.

    Alternatively, you might find you can get away with a lower rated PSU than Dell have shipped with the notebook. I've found that Dell notebooks shipped with 65W PSUs are usually OK with a 45W PSU (and those with 90W PSU will run on 65W, etc.) and the old Latitude XT 45W PSU is commendably compact if you can find one.

    Just wanted to toss this back to the top, there is a small travel charger for laptops available on amazon for 19.99 Canadian as well. It's about the size of an ipad charger and puts out 65w. Seems like a great deal!
