PA-10 vs PA-12??

Question

I have both adapters and a E1501 Inspiron and a D510 Latitude.  Does it matter which one I use with which laptop? Also, what is the difference in these two adapters? Thanks,

PA-10 is 90W and PA-12 is 65W

There is a sticker label on the base of the laptops that specify which adapter it is compatible.

The D510 can use both but I'm not sure about the E1501.

So, doesn't that mean the PA-10 is more powerful, therefore better?

Hi,   A D600 is happy with a PA12, use a dock and it wants a PA10. A D800 wont run at full power with a PA12. More power is great if you need it, if you dont you carry around a bigger heavier adapter.                                                                         Regards Chris
