Correct AC Adapter For Studio XPS 1647 ?
I currently have a Dell 90W AC Adapter PA-3E FA90PE1-00 for my I5 Studio XPS 1647 laptop. I've read that others are using a Dell 130 W AC Adapters. Both are 19.5V.
Which is the correct adapter to use and what if any would be the advantages or disadvantages of using the 130 W adapter instead ?
I use my XPS mainly for Multitrack Digital Audio.
Thank you....

90W is fine for an i5. An i7 needs the 130W.
The 130W adapter costs more - the upside is that it will charge the battery more quickly. It won't improve performance on an i5 though.
