Wrong power support adapter, extremely poor customer service
I purchased a very expensive (.$2000) Alienware M15 laptop. It came with a Chinese power adapter made for a Chinese outlet. I contacted customer service. I was initially told that was just my problem and to purchase a plug adapter from the Dell site. After I insisted that was unacceptable, I was shuffled to customer service. I had to send pictures 3 times of the wrong power source. I then dealt with Adarsh_M for over a week. His emails were of course very nice, but he simply could not help me. He kept showing me incompatible parts, and I had to explain to him multiple times why the part he was offering me was wrong. He finally offered me $45 credit to find my own part, which was ridiculous. I sent him a very clear picture of the American 240W adapter I needed, and asked him to ship it to me and I would return the Chinese adapter. He then sent me a picture of a 180W adapter he wanted to send. For 10 days I have been unable to use the laptop. The customer service is nonexistent. I am beyond disappointed, and anyone thinking of purchasing from Dell should learn from my experience.

M15 Yes the part that plugs into the wall outlet. I received an adapter with 3 pins, made for a Chinese wall outlet.
We have checked that a dispatch has been placed for a 240w adapter.
