Area-51m R2, power supply
Sorry I know this has probably been asked a few times. But I just purchased an area 51m r2 with i7 10700 / 2060 off ebay. It came with a 240 watt adapter. Is that what it comes with originally? Or does it come with 2 adapters? Only read about the r1 coming with 2. When I went to turn on the laptop it says something along the lines of I should be using 510 watt adapter, if not performance will be decreased.

Yours should of come with a 330W and 180W adapter. This is why the system is expecting you to have 510W plugged in. If you get yourself a 330W then you'll be covered.

This would have come with two adapters when new. Based on the config that you listed off it probably came with a 240w and a 180w adapter, so your missing the 180w. The higher end configs came with a 330w and 180w. I would probably pick up a 330w adapter and call it done.

We can see in the online Area-51m R2 Setup and Specifications PDF that two AC power adapters are shipped when purchasing directly from Dell.
