    HI all.
    I just thought I'd let everyone know that my Clevo/Sager seems to be running great at 19.5v rather than the rated 20v. This means that if your handy at soldering, you can use some of the nice slim 130w adapters from Dell. The PA-4E is working great for me but all Dell adapters are 19.5v.

    I think it would be interesting to see how this works on other sager/clevo machines as well as with other Dell adapters. Also f you think this might cause a big underlying problem or have a negative effect over time, please speak up.

    Funny because currently I'm running my old Dell Inspiron on a 20V Clevo adapter, since the Dell adapter broke :)
