Mascom International stocks the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor at KSh 1,600, a replacement adaptor for Dell laptops that delivers 19.5V at 3.34A through a 4.5x3.0mm pin. Every unit is brand new and sealed. The design is a two-piece brick: the DC cable with its slim 4.5mm tip is fixed to the adaptor, and a separate mains cord runs to the wall. The Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor covers the 65W rating that many of Dell's mainstream 4.5mm laptops ship with. It sits on the shelf at our first-floor shop in Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for accountants, estate agents, logistics coordinators and university students, the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor keeps everyday Dell laptops charging through a full working day. The usual reason for a purchase is simple: the original charger has died, the cable has split near the tip, or it was left behind at a client's office. This unit suits many Inspiron 3000 and 5000 series, Vostro and Latitude 3000 series laptops with the 4.5mm port. At Mascom International, we're seeing students from USIU and JKUAT buy a second Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor, so one stays in the hostel and one travels to lectures.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops hand over an adaptor without checking the laptop, Mascom International matches the voltage, current and tip to your model before you pay. Customers across Nairobi tell us the biggest relief is a charger that simply works the first time it goes in. At KSh 1,600, the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor also costs KSh 300 less than our 45W 4.5mm model while offering more headroom. Visit the shop with your laptop to see it charge, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor
How much is the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor in Kenya?
The Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor sells for KSh 1,600 brand new at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD. The price includes the adaptor with its attached 4.5mm cable, a detachable mains cord and a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects. You can pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya. Within our Dell range, it costs KSh 300 less than the 45W 4.5mm model, KSh 600 less than the 65W USB-C adaptor and KSh 900 less than the 65W 7.4mm Original.
What is the difference between the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor and the Dell 65W 7.4mm Original Laptop Adaptor?
Both supply 65W, but the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor has a slim 4.5x3.0mm tip, while the 7.4mm Original uses Dell's thicker barrel. The tips are not interchangeable, so your laptop's port decides the choice. The 7.4mm style mostly appears on older Latitude, Inspiron and Vostro machines; the 4.5mm style came later on slimmer models. The 7.4mm unit is an original Dell adaptor at KSh 2,500, while this replacement costs KSh 1,600. If you are unsure, compare tip widths or send a photo on WhatsApp.
Can the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor charge a Dell laptop that came with a 45W charger?
Yes, the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor safely charges Dell laptops rated for 45W that use the same 4.5x3.0mm port. A laptop draws only the current it needs, so the extra capacity simply sits unused rather than forcing more power into the machine. The voltage is identical at 19.5V, and that is the figure that must match. Many buyers choose this unit over the 45W model because it costs less and can serve a 65W laptop later, so one adaptor covers both.
How do I protect the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor from dust, heat and rough commutes in Kenya?
Keep the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor in its own bag pocket, away from dust and from pressure on the cable. Fine dust during the dry season can collect inside the tip, so blow it out before plugging in. On matatu and boda boda rides, avoid wrapping the cable tightly around the brick, since sharp bends near the tip cause most breaks. In humid towns like Mombasa, store it somewhere dry. Never charge it under a pillow or on a bed, where heat builds quickly.
Who should buy the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor, and who should look elsewhere?
The Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor suits anyone with a Dell laptop that has a 4.5mm round port and a 45W or 65W rating on its original charger. Office workers wanting a spare and students replacing a lost charger get the most value at KSh 1,600. Look elsewhere if your Dell has the thick 7.4mm port, where the Dell 65W 7.4mm Original Laptop Adaptor fits, or a USB-C port, where the Dell 65W USB-C Laptop Adaptor works. Dell laptops rated above 65W need a higher-wattage adaptor.
What do the 19.5V and 3.34A figures on the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor mean?
The 19.5V figure is the voltage the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor supplies, and it must match your laptop's requirement exactly. The 3.34A figure is the highest current it can deliver. Multiply the two and you get about 65W, the adaptor's power rating. Your laptop label or original charger lists the same kind of figures, usually beside the word Output. Voltage must be equal; current can be equal or higher, never lower. That rule is why this unit also suits Dell laptops designed for 2.31A chargers.
Can I run the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor from a UPS or inverter during KPLC outages?
Yes, the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor works from a UPS or home inverter the same way it works from a wall socket. When KPLC power drops, plug the mains cord into the backup unit's output and the laptop keeps charging. Pick a UPS or inverter rated well above 65W if other devices share it. Solar setups with an inverter output work too. Avoid plugging straight into the wall during unstable supply, because the surge when power returns is the main risk to any adaptor.
How do I avoid an underrated adaptor when buying the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor?
Read the output label before paying: a properly rated unit like the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor states 19.5V and 3.34A. Underrated chargers sometimes print 65W on the box but list a lower current on the brick itself, which leaves a laptop charging slowly or not at all. At Mascom International, you can plug the adaptor into your own laptop at the counter before paying. Pay-on-arrival delivery gives you the same check at home, and the 6-month warranty covers manufacturing faults.
Technical Specifications
Power Output and Core Function
- 19.5V supply — the voltage Dell's 4.5mm laptops are designed to receive, so the charging circuit sees a familiar input.
- 3.34A current capacity — enough for a laptop rated at 65W, with room to spare on lighter 45W machines.
- 65W rating — 19.5 volts times 3.34 amps comes to about 65 watts, the figure printed on the adaptor label.
- Powers the laptop and refills the battery together, so spreadsheets, browsing and video calls carry on while plugged in.
- Accepts 240V mains through the separate cord, whether from a wall outlet, an extension board, a UPS or an inverter.
- Replacement adaptor for Dell laptops that matches the output of the 65W charger it stands in for.
- Sealed, unused stock — the cable has never been bent, coiled or carried before it reaches you.
Compatibility With Dell Laptops
- 4.5x3.0mm pin — a 4.5mm outer barrel with a 3.0mm opening, the slim connector on Dell's newer mainstream laptops.
- Fits many Inspiron 3000 and 5000 series, Vostro and Latitude 3000 series laptops with a round 4.5mm port.
- Also charges Dell 4.5mm laptops that shipped with a 45W charger, because the voltage is identical.
- Will not fit laptops with Dell's older 7.4mm barrel, which is noticeably thicker than this tip.
- Not suited to Dell laptops charged through USB-C, or to models rated above 65W.
- Your old adaptor label is the best guide: 19.5V with 3.34A or 2.31A and a 4.5mm tip means a match.
- Send your laptop's service sticker or model number on WhatsApp and we confirm the fit before dispatch.
Build and Everyday Handling
- Two-piece layout — the brick and DC lead form one part, and the mains cord unplugs from the brick for packing.
- Fixed DC lead with a straight 4.5mm tip that seats firmly when pushed fully into the laptop's round charging port.
- Coil the lead in loose loops; tight wraps around the brick are the most common cause of broken wires inside.
- The brick runs warm under load, which is normal, so charge it on a desk or table rather than on soft furnishings.
- Pull the plug out by its head, never by the cable, to protect the joint between the tip and the wire.
- Fits in the accessory pocket of most laptop bags and backpacks alongside a mouse, notebook or phone.
- A damaged mains cord can be swapped on its own, keeping the brick and DC lead in service for longer.
Inclusions and After-Sales Support
- One adaptor brick with its 4.5mm DC lead attached at the factory, ready to plug into the laptop on arrival.
- One detachable mains cord for connecting the brick to your wall socket, extension board or UPS output.
- Plug style agreed with you on WhatsApp before the parcel leaves the shop, so it suits the sockets you use.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use, handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Free fit confirmation — share your laptop model or old adaptor label and we check the match before you buy.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide, so you plug in and test the adaptor before paying the rider.
- Counter testing on Kimathi Street with your own laptop, so you see the charging light come on before leaving.
Package Contents
Inside the box is the Dell 65W 4.5mm Laptop Adaptor brick with its DC lead and 4.5x3.0mm tip already attached, plus a separate mains power cord that plugs into the brick.

The set contains no laptop, battery, carry case or extension board. Hold on to the packaging and receipt in case you need warranty service.
