Finally got my laptop back after the dog chewed up my cord. I plugged my laptop in the minute it came and gave it a nice charged. I have had the cord a total of 5 days and have used my laptop for work 8 hours a day for the 5 days. Cord is currently plugged in to my laptop as I am using it currently. Power supply hasn't gotten hot, like my original one that came with my laptop. My laptop seems to be charging slightly faster than before. Supply was easy to plug in, cord has a Velcro strap to secure the cable after use for easy storage. I am happy with this power supply, it git my Dell just fine.
