Ivy Bridge: Wikipedia article about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_Bridge_%28microarchitecture%29
Dell E6230 has this chipset: Mobile Intel QM77 Express Chipset
Description: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/performance-chipsets/mobile-chipset-qm77.html
No, most power adapters are proprietary and cannot be used across brands.

It would be based mainly on power output (Amps and Watts).
