I would recommend getting maybe at least 360watts in the system just so that the "Light gaming" your talking about can not drain the battery as that thing will suck it all up from just the hardware alone. Recommendations from me: 180 + 180 = Great for lightweight portability and providing the most wattage without killing your back. 240 standalone = For web browsing and just carrying it around.
Well the dell one is basically 330watts and not 360watts like the dual 180's but if you use an aftermarket one it risks not working with the motherboard and even frying the DC Jack in plus the battery. (My Poor M14x r1 died from an aftermarket one.)

Surfing the web and video yes. Gaming no.

Is there a power cable that combines both? So I wouldn't need two?
Even if it isn't from Dell.
