Title: Inferior products Date: July 14, 2008
ProsThe power adapter works for the requisite length of the manufactures limited warranty.
ConsAfter only a years use, the power adapter begins to lose its grip in the main port and slips out with the merest nudge of the computer. The plastic casings that surround the area that connect the cables to the main body of the power adapter dry out and crack, which causes the adapter to ground and present connection and start up problems. The grounding problems are difficult to diagnose. Despite its effective workability during the warranty period, the power adapter has a relatively high price point. Dell might consider either lowing the price, considering its short life span, or upgrading the materials that go into the manufacture.

Title: Keeps Breaking! Date: May 2, 2008
ProsUm none?
ConsIts one problem after another!

Review:I bought my computer in January '07. That summer, my adapter just stopped working. The little green light went out and my computer would not hold a charge. Fortunately for me, it was still under its one year warranty. So after talking on the phone with Dell for a while and describing what happened, they sent me a new one. Fastforward to April '08: the wire is now exposed and fraying. I tried fixing it with electrical tape and that worked for about a day, and now its stopped working completely. I don't mistreat my products (especially after what happened to the other one), so WHY DOES THIS PRODUCT KEEP BREAKING!? There is no reason for it except poor quality products. Now I am trying to find a new adapter once again. I'm not happy with this product at all. And I'm hoping to get this problem situated before my finals!

ProsNone.
ConsI have had to purchase a new adapter for my laptop three or four times in the last two years. The grounding prong fell out of the first one, while inside the wall outlet. The adapter on the next burnt up. The latest one has a broken cord (the plastic simply cracked).

Title: Should be less expensive! Date: March 25, 2008
ProsIt works for awhile.
ConsI just had to buy my 3rd dell power cord in 4 years for my Inspirson 600m. The most recent one just stopped working completely. I would plug it into an outlet and it would only charge my computer if I used my hand to hold the power cord 'just right', which would render it nearly impossible to type. These power cords should be less expensive because they don't last long enough to make them worth it!

Prosit worked like it needed to for a while.
Consafter a little more than a year it stopped charging my laptop. it powered my computer but it didn't charge the battery. i had to keep it connected to stay on because whenever the adapter fell off or was pulled of my computer turned off. it's also big and bulky. and costs too much if it's only going to last for a year or two.

Title: Third adapter in 3.5 years!!!!!!!!!!!!! Date: February 26, 2008
ProsNone!
ConsPrice is too high for a product that does not last as long as expected. This is my third adapter that I have to purchase for my 700m, which I bought in 2004. This product needs to be reconsidered, because 3 adapters in 4 years is RIDICULOUS.

Review:I have purchased 3 computers from Dell: 2 desktops and one laptop. When my best friend called to tell me that she was going to buy a laptop from Dell, I told her to beware of the AC adapters; because I have had a horrible experience with them just going out.

ProsVery compact and works as it should. Seems costly but is very reasonable compared to universal power supplies from national chain stores.
ConsThe entire unit is a bit bulky and the cord could be a bit longer. It's sometimes hard to see the green LED lit on the power supply to verify that it has power.

ProsThe adapter's small size makes it extremely easy to move from room to room. It is lightweight, and also has a long cord that allows for easier movement. The best feature is that it charges the battery while using the laptop, and it makes the screen much brighter and easier to see.
