Default Power adapter for Vostro 3400

I am looking at purchasing a Vostro 3400 and would like to get a
second power adapter, one for work and one for home. Does anyone know
if it uses the same PA-10/12 of previous generation Dell laptops
because if that is the case I dont need to buy another adapter and can
use the spare one from my old laptop.

That link doesn't specify anything related to adapter type. Doing a google
search, however, nets that it uses a Dell PA-3E adapter.

Thanks guys, after some more googling it appears that the PA-3E is
just a new slim version of the old PA-10 adapter. Same plug, voltages,
watts etc. I think I will go ahead and order it with just the single
adapter and try out my old PA-10 adapter when it arrives. Use the
slim, light one for travel and leave the heavier one on my desk at
home.
