Precision 3561, compact 3rd party multi-port USB-C charger?
Hello,
I'm reaching out to the community for advice on finding a suitable replacement charger for my Dell Precision 3561. The original 130W USB-C charger is no longer functional and I'm looking for a more compact and versatile solution.
Requirements:
Power Output: Must deliver 130W via USB-C (20V/6.5A) to ensure the laptop operates at full performance.
Multi-Port Capability: Ideally, the charger should have multiple USB-C ports to allow simultaneous charging of other devices.
Compact Design: A smaller form factor is preferred for portability.
Compatibility: The charger should be compatible with the Dell Precision 3561 without causing any performance issues.
Performance Concerns:
I've noticed that when using chargers with lower wattage, such as 90W or 65W, the laptop's CPU power is automatically reduced. This throttling significantly impacts performance, especially during intensive tasks. It's crucial to find a charger that can provide the necessary power to prevent this issue.
Questions:
Are there any third-party USB-C chargers that meet these specifications and are known to work well with the Dell Precision 3561?
Are there any considerations or potential issues I should be aware of when using non-Dell chargers with this model?
Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
