    Can anyone with a 180W AC adapter for NP8255/8265 (P157SM, P150SM) give me measurements on how big the brick is? I'm thinking of buying this model but want to get a sense of how packed my laptop bag will be compared to my 120W Lenovo adapter.
    Thanks!

    That is the PSU and manufacture site. They don't list it with the same tip the one you would get will have but the PSU itself is identical.

    They list it as:

    UNIT SIZE: 167.5mm (W) X 82.5mm (D) X 42.5mm (H)
    UNIT WEIGHT: 2.0 LB (S)

    Thank you Bryanu! Turns out it'll fit into my bag's accessory compartment fine. But the cable thickness surely is intimidating :)

    Thicker cable = lower resistance and higher efficiency. The thicker cable is also more durable so find it reassuring rather than intimidating ;)
