try it and tell me if it works...
Hey Guys...hws u all hv been....
I had a que how much backup u guys r getting on sammy.... In my case (I5 ver) backup tym has significantly reduced to smwhr around 2.5 hrs on 80% charge... normally my sammy gets chrgd upto 80% within an hour... and I m gaming on AC only...most ov the tym...sammy gets charged nd i keep on playing.... prolonged exposure to charging can reduce battery life ?
Is there any corrective measure for it... ?

Can the dell adapters be safely used on Samsung ?? Are they of Same voltage ??
How are you sure batteries are not charging ? (I am asking just to confirm you know that if you have enabled battery saver mode in bios or easy settings the battery will not charge beyond 80%)
ya they can be used as they have same voltage but dell adapters have bigger charging pin so they won't fit 
Im sure cuz when battery is at 40% and i plug-in and start playing on adapter then charging takes hell lot of time meaninig it must be draining as it takes nearly 3 hours to get to 80% but when im not playing games then it takes 1 hour to get to 80%.
I used power saver mode from windows and played darksiders 2 at high settings with charger plugged-in it's nearly been 1 hour and didn't faced any throttle.
Seems like this might work

Why ? It is not good choice for hardcore gaming ?
nick it is good but if he is waiting to take lappy for gaming then better wait for lenovo to release y580 in india which has GTX660m GPU which is way better than ours but i guess even GPU this powerfull will also have heating and throtling.....
and 135W adapter is compatable but it costs more.......

hardcore gaming = 7-8 hours daily with Ultra settings...SO2IN won't do this job. Iam warning you...If you are a gamer like me...2 hours continuous and then taking break and playing 3 hours lately then its good.
Even a ALIENWARE won't stay below 90C after playing for 3 hours. My I5 version goes upto 90C when CPU has been under-clocked to 90%...just think of this Quad Core I7.
but as pratyush got his mobo replaced his temps are below 85C which is awesome. So if you play games at Ultra Settings for 3 hours and then give this lappy a break for 1 hour then its Good. but don't expect playing 2012 games at continuous 6 hours.
