True, BUT...

...if you use a third party adapter, make sure the amperage is equal to or higher than the amount the Dell one is rated. The reason is precisely because the device will draw what it needs. If you have an underpowered adapter, that puppy will heat up and burn out eventually. So, Get the voltage and amperage as close as you can, but never go lower on the amperage than what the device needs.
