    If it is the Delta adapter, does it get hot to the touch?

    The Asus branded AC adapter is a tad bit smaller, however, it probably won't make much of a difference since the weight and size of the power adapter is relatively minuscule compared to your G71 laptop and books.

    If you were planning to invest in a new AC adapter, I'd suggest using that money to purchase a new and larger laptop bag instead.
