Apparently the normal flight power socket gives around 75 watts and my laptop requires 125 watts.

Does anyone have any experience of this issue? Is there any way around it?

I wish I knew this before buying the laptop, I would have bought an alternative!

THANKS in advance,

Rob.
Been there, done that actually. It's why you pay for better engineering. Return the Dell. Buy a Macbook Pro, load bootcamp and windows if you need it. Now the same processor laptop works with way less power.

In my case, I stopped using a fancy dell Precision laptop and changed to a 15" MBP with a stunning retina display, better keyboard, trackpad and overall design.
