Power requirements? Video card?
Can't go wrong with this:

AC Power supply for laptop.
Don't like how the original gets hot.

What an idiot.
AC power supplies normally run hot. If it's under warranty I'd go back to the place you bought it and ask them for a replacement. It may be faulty, but like I said, they normally run hot.

What laptop is it?
Unfortunately I haven't heard of any company making high quality stuff for that.
You most likely are not going to find anything other than a replacement part that gets as hot.
LMFAO.
You ing tool, he edited his post afterward to specify a laptop.
His original post said nothing except "opinions? Don't like how the original gets hot."
I thought it was a bit odd that he was monitoring the internal temp of his case's power supply, but why the would I ask him how much power he needed or what video card he had if he was asking about a laptop?

Of course, you do support Rush Limbaugh, so I'm not sure why I expected anything more from you in threads like this.

Toshiba
riiiiiiiiiiiight
No. I don't support Limbaugh. Thanks for ASSuming though. And my critical reasoning skills are quite good. I know the difference between a laptop and desktop pc.

Fabbs, the only thing I can think of is to look at your current AC adapter and see how many watts it can handle (IE:90W). Then try to find a compatible AC adapter rated for more watts (IE:120W).
AC adapters that can handle more watts have bigger heat dissipators (some of them might include a built-in fan), and since your laptop would be drawing less power than the rating, it should stay cooler than your current one.
Try googling for "Toshiba Global AC Adapter". There's some Toshiba-branded parts on Amazon. Just make sure it's compatible with your laptop. Good luck.
Plus desktop pc's don't require a "brick". Simply an ac power CORD that never gets hot, you stupid jack wagon.
Riiiiiiight. Do you think it's a coincidence that Fabbs neglected to even mention the laptop brand until ElNono asked him? So you're saying he had the presence of mind to specify "laptop" or "desktop", but he didn't think to mention the brand? Critical thinking, Viva. Do u has it?
Kind of like how you assumed I didn't know the difference between a laptop and a desktop? Yeah, you're right, after all my time in the forum it's obvious that I don't know anything about computers.No. I don't support Limbaugh. Thanks for ASSuming though. And my critical reasoning skills are quite good. I know the difference between a laptop and desktop pc.
The power supply inside a computer case can definitely get hot, especially without ventilation. I took it as a given that Fabbs wouldn't be asking about laptop power supplies, since they always run hot anyway and there's little you can do about it.

Oh, and for the record, my first response was complete sarcasm. Do you think someone like Fabbs needs a $380 power supply? Yeah, didn't think so.

Square brick lol
Backpedaling lol
Easy reading lol
You guys bicker over some of the dumbest .
This x1000000000. Only Viva would care so much that he feels the need to call me out in such a pointless thread.
Yeah... looks like I missed something.
Find one with the largest available wattage. It will be heavier and more bulky, but if it is doing less ac/dc conversion, it is staying cooler, generally. Targus has a good return policy, and IIRC they go up to 125 W on some models, much higher than the standard adapter.
Just be sure that the power supply in question is compatible with your model of laptop. If it's not, at best it might not fit into the charging port, and at worst, it could damage the computer.
