• Not a genuine Dell product, but works ok.

  Despite being advertised as "a Genuine Dell PA-10 Family 90W AC Power Adapter", this is not a genuine Dell product. It has the exact same size/shape as the Dell unit, but lacks the Dell logo, and appears slightly lower in quality, with a shorter and cheaper feeling cord.
  
  The computer doesn't recognize it as a Dell unit either, and gives a warning (both on boot and in Windows) that it isn't genuine and won't charge the battery, and that the computer will run at a lower speed. Despite this, I found that it does charge the battery and the computer runs at full speed.
  
  So this is far from a perfect replacement. However, Dell's own units are of such abysmally low quality (I had 3 fail in the first year of owning my laptop), that this one can hardly be worse.
  
  Worth it for the price (much lower than buying from Dell), with the above caveats.
  
  

• It's a lie - NOT a Genuine Dell adapter!

  The product description says:
  
  "This is a Genuine Dell PA-10 Family 90W AC Power Adapter"
  
  This is NOT TRUE.
  
  In fact it's a cheap imitation adapter.
  
  It seems to work, but the fact that the product description is blatantly dishonest makes this unacceptable.

  This is described as a Dell Charger...IT IS NOT. It is a cheap looking imitation. However, it worked, and was inexpensive. I have not gotten any error messages, but I have a serious problem with describing something, and posting an image, of a genuine replacement, and then getting something else. The Battery Center should not be allowed to do this.
