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. |

Doing a google search, however, nets that it uses a Dell PA-3E adapter. |

Power adapter for Vostro 3400
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. |
