    Gateway Power adaptors are very common and you can get it at any laptop computer selling places. If you can wait, you can buy it from eBay for cheap.

    Unless Gateway use a non-standard plug on the power lead, any of the universal power supplies which can provide 19V and at least 3.42A will be OK (there will be no harm in using a 90W PSU except it is bigger to carry around). The universal power supplies usually come with a selection of different power tips.
