I'm just saying the 90W seems unreliable because I remember a thread
here a few months ago where that was mentioned.

Having said that, I have one connected to my adv. mini dock and
although it gets very hot and buzzes a lot, it never failed on me.
The reason I got it was because I found that using the dock with the
65W would cause random crashes.
