T430s w/ 65W adapter
My T430s came with a 90W adapter, but I also two extra 65W adapters. Can I safely use the 65W adapters with the unit? It has Intel HD4000, so no discrete graphics to support. But in my searching for an answer, I read some comments about the T430s possibly having some sort of rapid charge battery that required the 90W. No one seemed very certain about anything, though.

Re: T430s w/ 65W adapter
If it doesn't have discrete graphics card, 65w would be the correct charger. You can use either 65w or 90w. If you have a thinkpad that has discrete graphics and you use a 65w power supply. It will display a message saying your computer requires a 90w charger and that performance will be decreased while charging.

Thanks. I hooked up one of the 65W chargers and it seems to work fine, although a bit warmer than the 90W. Too be expected, I suppose.
