AC Adapter running pretty hot

[Malevolens]

Hey folks Im a long time lurker first time poster. Ive used the recommendations for a couple system builds from here that have been great, now I have an issue with a laptop I bought about 10 months ago.

I bought a NP700Z7C-S01UB Samsung laptop from Bestbuy before coming out to Afghanistan and it works great and does everything I need it to do. However lately Ive noticed that the AC adapter is pretty hot to the touch.

What can be done for that, if anything? Can i get a better one or do I have to just dangle it front of a fan?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Well how hot do you mean? Does it hurt your hand? Is it the correct adapter to go from their electricity standard to the US standard?

They're suppose to accrue heat; some do more than others. It looks like this one has an i7 and a 650M graphics card, as well as a 17.3" display, sooo... the power supply will naturally get hot, as it has a fair amount of watts it has to push.

If you're concerned about it, you can purchase an additional adapter and see if it heats up comparably.
