    Does anyone know if there are ANY power adapters, made by any company, that are compatible with the Z60M (besides the default 90W adapter that comes with the machine)? The sales rep told me that none of the other IBM/Lenovo units are compatible; Kensington's Web site states that they do not offer any compatible units, and the Targus Web site does not list it as an option, nor does iGo.

    I don't like not having options.

    Thanks,
    Howie

    Who uses non-factory power adapters anyways unless the laptop is long gone out of its product cycle?

    I believe Kensington has one, as they have a few models that use replaceable tips, but it isn't listed on the site yet.

    Well, in this case, I would. Targus makes one that weighs under half a pound (APA10US at www.targus.com), and both Targus and IBM offer AC/DC combo adapters. IBM also sells a 56W ultraportable.

    Does the Z60M take the same adapters as the T43?

    The new models coming out have different power adapters and docks. The adapter on my z60t is a little thinner than the one that came with the T41.
