    Hi, All

    Just come to wonder if it is possible to share power adapter for notebook of different brand.. since seeing Dell and Hp power adaptor or M90 and 8710 looks very similar size the same. rating wise 19.5v for dell and 18.5v for HP both rating at 130w and 135w

    if possible then maybe could save having to lug around power brick around to office if could use :D

    thats a really bad idea
    even if the ratings are the same, you don't want to risk it
    an option like iGo is the kensington series of power adapters
