    Hi everyone,

    I am in need of a new AC adapter for my HP Envy 15. Can any of you veteran owners recommend me a reliable and quality one (and hopefully under $100), preferably with a decently long cord?

    I was thinking of the same topic. I need someone slim. I wonder if the 90w will work on it fine? The 120 is a brick!

    I don't think the 90w will provide it with enough power...

    I read through some stuff on the XPS 16 over on the Dell forums and it seems as though the 90w provided causes GPU throttling because its underpowered. That's why some people started ordering 120w power supplies.

    Edit: Though after reading this thread, it seems as though a 90w reduces heat as a result of the throttling. Interesting....
