I have to agree. The fact that people have had devices destroyed by badly designed cables and chargers is proof enough. I keep my laptops for years after the manufacturers have stopped selling replacement parts. With older Dells at least this means buying replacement batteries and AC adapters on Ebay, and they're usually China-made generics not Dell originals. I have never had a problem with this mess of different products together; pumping five amps into one of my data ports knowing people have fried motherboards doing that scares me.
