Hello, I was wondering if someone with the power brick for the Area 51-m could tell me what the DC Output voltage, input voltage, and what kind of tip the charger has on the end.

Output is 20VDC, 8.0 Amps, with a four-pin circular connector with large pins (sorry, don't know the right name for that one).

Input is 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 2.25Amps.

the area51m power adapter isnt much of a brick. if you really wanna see a brick take a look at the dell 9100 and XPS. Those two systems have a real brick for a power adapter. I have a friend who works for dell and does product reliability for their power adapters. During development its nickname really was "the brick".

I think both power adapters are almost the same. The Alienware power supply is slightly longer, due to the built in cooling fan and the Dell is wider but slightly shorter.

I think the Alienware connector is more sturdy than the Dells. I've replaced my cord once because the center connector got misaligned which caused a short and sometimes wouldn't charge the battery. The Alienware connecter is more robust and probably woudn't experience that problem.
