Oftentimes you either have to pay $50+ to get one from the manufacturer, or risk getting a low-quality, third-party version for half the price.Since this is an older model, it shouldn't be too difficult to find this for a good price - and it works perfectly, since it's the real deal (i.e. If you need a replacement, look here. As someone who has bad luck with AC adapters dying on him, it can become an expensive process to find a good replacement. Dell's adapter).
I don't use my computer much, maybe a few hours a week, and my original adapter lasted over three years. I was wrong. Save yourself the time and money and get a better adapter from somewhere else. My original adapter had a short where it plugs in to the back of the computer, so back in June I bought this one to replace it. I too got a cheap knockoff, but I figured it wouldn't make any real difference. This one quit on me after less than 5 months.
After reading the previous reviews, I conclude that it is just random wether you get an original or not. I bought this product and got an original DELL charger, just like the one in the picture.
I tried to contact them twice about the problem and no one ever got back to me. Unfortunately, what they sent me was some cheap knockoff of a Dell adapter that says "replacement adapter" instead of saying Dell. It is just a cheap knockoff with some false advertising and pictures of something that they do not actually send you. This company is advertising that they are selling an Original Dell AC adapter by Dell. They even have several pictures of adapters that say Dell on them. It seems like a great deal for the price, but if you want a real, genuine Dell AC adapter, DO NOT BUY FROM the batterycenter.
I read the other review, and that customer was well pleased, and got an original Dell product. The product works, and it does fit my computer, but I am not at all pleased with the fact that the seller specifically presented this as an original Dell product, when it is NOT. The product description indicates that it is an original Dell product. I however, got a cheap knock-off made by some other company.
