    I'm thinking about buying a NP8660, but am concerned about the size of the power supply. I want a powerful notebook for gaming, but I also want a "portable" notebook. I've seen the size of the power supply on some of the Alienware machines and they are not just bricks they are cinder blocks.

    I appreciate your opinions and pictures of the power supply as well.

    Thanks,
    Rich

    ~6'' x 2.5'' x 1.5''

    Its larger than most power bricks but in your backpack, you won't feel the difference since the weight of the A/C is a fraction of the weight of the laptop.

    M570RU - M570TU - M860TU = all use the same 120W power supply

    It´s a little big and thicker... weights with the cable around 1Kg easily...

    But that´s the price of an high performance machine...
