    Can anyone suggest a DC charger for a Samsung X460. Had a Kensington using with my old Dell but the tips supplied do not fit and no luck from Kensington. So guess it's going to be a new one - any recommendations anyone??

    thanks

    It's annoying that Samsung use a non-standard power tip. Given time, there will be better support by the third party manufacturers as a result of Samsung's move into north America.

    In the mean time, one work-around is to use an inverter combined with your normal PSU. It is not as compact, but quite cheap. 75W may be enough.
