x17 R1, get x17 R2 330W SFF AC adapter (GAN charger)?
I was wondering how to get the 330W SFF AC adapter without buying the x17 R2? I have an x17 R1 3080 GPU which took about 5 month to arrive, and it came with a huge 330Wpower adapter. But I saw the x17 R2 330W AC adapter is much more smaller, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAO2LAqKROQ
Skip to 1:41 and you will see that new 330W Gan charger. I need to get that one instead of carrying a heavy 12 year old designed AC adapter. How can I get the new one? Please advise.
Thank you.

None of the x17 R2 330W AC power adapters are tested/validated on the x17 R1.
None of the x17 R1/R2 AC power adapters are available to sell as stand alone purchases.

the 240W adapter was made available to purchase after the x15/17 R was released last year. Any ETA on the 330W charger?

KJXPP 240W slim is not validated for Alienware Laptops. The sales site you linked to shows =

So there is no way to get a 2nd power adaptor for the x17 R2 right now? Is there some other solution? We will be working in two different locations, it would be a huge pain to be lugging the AC Adaptor back and forth.

I can confirm that the x17R2 AC adapter is backward compatible with the X17 R1, I asked a youtuber and he replied in the comments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTeGnK63PyQ

The x17 R2 330W slim AC adapters were not tested/validated by Dell on the x17 R1. They also show as not available for stand alone purchase.

Hi @Shandidy welcome to this free user to user Alienware laptop discussion forum. This is not Dell Support.
It is disappointing that Alienware X17 R2 Parts & Upgrades does not include the 330W slim ac adapter. Evidently, none of the x17 R1/R2 ac adapters are available to sell as stand alone Dell purchases.
eBay.com is starting to sell the New Thin Genuine Dell Alienware 330W GaN Charger X17 R2 19.5V 16.92A ac adapter, DP/N 08K4F9. Example: New Thin Genuine Dell Alienware 330W GaN Charger X17 R2 19.5V 16.92A AC Adapter | eBay
Internet search on Dell Part Number: 08K4F9, reveals other vendors.

Unfortunately it is sold out everywhere even ebay, I got my laptop after 6-7 month wait time received it in December of 2021, I have never seen in my life a charger bigger than the product it self it is ridiculous, my laptop fits in my small backpack but not the adapter, also i am leaving for a long leave so unfortunately the laptop goes in the backpack and the brick in the luggage, Dell FIX IT we should be able to buy the slim ac adapter as an accessory, i don’t have to buy another x17 r2 only for the adapter!!!, this is my very fist alienware product i love the laptop but that psu is killing its portability BIG TIME.

The last one on eBay sold for like around $350+, it's crazy, but even at that price its not available anymore.

Exactly the same setup as yours.
I've been using the slim 240w without any issues with my 3080 gpu. Alternatively, get this....

I've been using it for 2months now, works well and definitely beats the brick that came with the laptop.
