I need YOUR opinion!

Does anyone know anything about universal laptop adapters? I've heard more bad things about them then good and wouldn't usually recommend them to anyone, but I had to get myself one as my original is barely hanging on by life support.

My laptop popped up a message saying that this adapter isn't the original and that my computer will operate slower and won't charge (which it seems to be doing now...*knocks on wood*) so I should connect another Dell one. Yeah, cause I've got $200+ just laying around to buy one of theirs. Pfft!

I don't want to fry my laptop, but I do want it to work and this was the only solution I could see. It says on the package that this adapter is suppose to work with my particular Dell model, so here's hoping that it does! It might take longer to charge because I'm pretty sure it's a lower wattage, but that's fine. As long as it charges eventually. lol

Soo...any thoughts or experiences with universal type stuff? PLEASE SHARE!
