    Do not buy that! Buy a genuine dell charger, i think they're pretty much the same price, i can't check myself at the minute but it's worth checking out. Check ebay and other places, but do not buy those Universal adapters, they break, they're messy to use and they're expensive. Avoid.

    Hmnn we've sold thousands of them and for the quantity we sell we have had very few returns.

    I just can't understand why someone would buy a multi-adapter, which i've seen, and wouldn't consider the best quality in the world when dell sell their own for under €50

    Yep, for €50 quid get the Dell one.

    Most multi-adaptors are fairly junk alright. Though I saw one recently that I was very impressed with, a Belkin, big white thing, very sturdy and well made. Don't think it was cheap though.

    You'd be surprised how many people aren't keen on buying something over the web or the amount who simply can't be bothered to find out the information for themselves and just want to walk out of a shop with something.

    In this case though I'd go for the original too, it's well priced and less fiddly than a universal jobby.

    Didn't realise that the Dell ones were a hell of a lot cheaper than they used to be.
