Jebus H Cripers 350 Watts for a laptop!! I cant say Ive seen a laptop PSU with that kind of output myself.
You can parallel power supplies up, but you have to make sure that they are identical in output voltage otherwise one might try and 'power' the other with unpleasant consequences.
For example, I have a Lab power supply on my workbench that has 2 independant 30 volt 3 amp sections, and I can indeed parallel connect them to get 6 amps at up to 30 volts, or seies connect them to get 60 volts at up to 3 amps. I just have to make sure that both 'sides' are set at the same voltage, if I get it wrong, then there is a circulating current that just makes heat.
Hmm, I might have to think ab bit further on this for ya, my son has a Dell XPS and knows all about the current Dell / Alienware computer stuff so I'll get in his ear and get back to ya.
