I'm trying to find a good travel charger for my daughter's Dell Inspiron N4110. I called Dell and they recommended a 90-watt one (which would have been fine but the power cord is only 3.5 feet (which won't allow her to plug into the car lighter when she's in the bag seat on long drives). Dell claims there are no longer cords of other travel adapters. I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. But I was clearly talking to someone reading from scripts and menu trees.
Dell had one 65-watt charger that I thought would work - and the cord seems longer (I think there are 2 cords):

But since Dell couldn't say that this was compatible I started looking for non-Dell brands that would have longer cords. I found two but I am not sure they're compatible and would love some guidance:
Kensington K38067US Wall/Air Ultra Compact Notebook Power Adapter. Link here:

Targus Premium Laptop Charger (AC/DC) APM69US. Link here:

Seatguru recommended some others but their links led to nowhere. I think the links are outdated.
Any guidance - including general thoughts/warnings about travel chargers (she'll be going to Vietnam - not sure if she could use this travel charger to charge her laptop or will also need to bring her regular charger. Obviously one charger is preferable for travel - but I think some travel chargers only provide power to the laptop - and don't actually charge the battery).
Thank you.
Lynn.
