Whatever you get (I've seen a couple of links posted and they won't work for our laptops: the R3000Z series; I have a 3240) be sure that they produce Nominal 130W and Peak 150W. I was looking for a travel adapter to carry in my laptop case -- something smaller and with shorter cords. :) So I checked out Targus and others, but could never find an adapter that could put out 130W continuous. They all had a peak power output of 120W. I would use them for 6 months or so and they'd burn out. :( I finally bit the bullet and bought an HP adapter. No worries since. It was pricey (compared to the "clones"), but I now consider it money well spent. (I had gone through 2 different Targus models and another one that I can't remember the brand name [bought it at Frye's] within 14 months.) Good luck with your search! Ciao. -- Frank J.
