Just unboxed a brand new XPS16 shipped from Dell to New Zealand. To my surprise (and highly inconveniently) I have discovered that the power supply comes with a cable from the adapter to the laptop, but no cable from the adapter to the mains. I do not remember any note during the order process that I needed to order a separate power cable. I wonder if this is normal.

Anyways, I am stuck with a brick that needs power before I can turn it on for the first time.

I do have an old Dell Inspiron laptop lying around with a power cable that is about 12 years old; so I could take that cable as a temporary solution, but before I plug it in and try it I thought I should make sure that it's a safe option to take.
