Dell Inspiron charger gets hot....?!
I just bought a new Dell Inspiron 14r less than 2 weeks ago, and I noticed that the charger gets hot after about a half an hour. It's not so hot that I can't touch it, but it's not too far from that and I don't think laptop chargers are supposed to get more than just warm. I am afraid to use it now, as I don't want to damage my new laptop. Has anyone else been experiencing this with their dell laptops or does anyone know if this is normal or not?

Almost All of them do get quite hot. I however prefer to not run with minimum power adapter so I get the 130W or 150W model instead of 60W or 90W versions.
Inspiron 14R (Model N4010) usually comes with

The PA-15 works with power to spare.
Model: PA-15 (150W)
Input:AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz
