guys I don't understand, why do I have to buy a power adapter separately? Isn't it supposed to come bundled with the pack? It's asking for over 1k for some targus adaptor.

Also I couldn't find the option to order the windows 7 disk, I read it can be ordered for extra 2$.

what the! every laptop company provide charging adapter for free

No, problem with with windows 7 disc, you can burn at home from your laptop.

No the power adapter is included in the package, but now they have stopped giving CDs so you have to pay few extra bucks.

Where is it asking... It doesn't provide such an option.. I tried to navigate the page.

Here's the link.

While customizing, you may find it in the accessories section.

The package does have the power cord.. check in the 'items included' in the package....

 

[aroraanant]

The option must be for an extra adapter I hope.
You call dell and ask about the CDs, there is no option as such.

Well maybe you are right, but technically the power cord doesn't mean the power adapter. Are you sure about this? I am pretty skeptical.

Also if that is the case, why the option to buy another adapter?

 

[coderunknown]

maybe your configured laptop's power requirement was higher than the default power adapter. so was asked to get a higher rated one.

I guess .. you need not be worried.. There is no point just giving the 'powercord' for a laptop in your perspective... You will get an adapter for sure...

if you are not into game and want a descent laptop, check this: HP 2000 2116TU. you get better battery life as well as better processing power and this one can run almost all games at low settings.
