Where's the best place to buy Dell laptop chargers?

Best answer: The best place to buy chargers for Dell laptops is Dell itself, as it can offer important advice for selecting the right charger. The prices are the same as any other retailer, too.Excellent charger: Dell USB-C 45W Power Adapter Plus ($56 at Dell)

What makes Dell the best option?

The reason you should buy a Dell laptop charger from Dell itself is that you'll be able to work with Dell's customer support so that you can select a charger that is suited for your device. Laptops each have different battery sizes, charger connection ports, and voltage requirements, so you must make sure the charger you buy is an excellent choice for your laptop. If you're not careful, you could end up getting one that doesn't fit your device or, worse, might even short out its motherboard because it delivers too high of a voltage.

If you're worried that you'll lose out on savings by going with Dell, don't be; the price is the same as it is with other retailers so that you won't be missing out on anything.

Out of all of Dell's available chargers, we recommend the Dell USB-C 45W Power Adapter Plus for most people. It uses a USB-C connection, which has become very common in recent years. This means that it will work with the vast majority of Dell's modern laptops. On top of this, it delivers 45W of reliable charging power, which is solid. A unique feature on this charger is the USB-A port that you can use to also charge your phone or another peripheral electronic, giving it some extra utility. Finally, the charger is small and easy to carry, making it an excellent choice for travelers.

Overall, this is Dell's best general-purpose charger. However, you should make sure that it will work with your device before you buy it. You can check which devices it's compatible with on its store page on Dell's website.
