Dell 130W Laptop Charger and Docking Station

Dell is a globally recognized brand in the technology industry, founded by Michael Dell in 1984 in Austin, Texas. The company has evolved from a direct-to-consumer computer vendor into a massive multinational technology conglomerate providing hardware, software, and IT services.

While the brand is American, Dell's manufacturing and assembly operations are highly globalized. Most chargers and docking stations, such as the 130W AC adapter shown, are manufactured in China through third-party partners like Lite-On or Chicony, though Dell also maintains facilities in various other countries globally. The brand remains under the ownership of Dell Technologies Inc., following a historic merger with EMC Corporation in 2016.
