    This is more of a question for resellers.

    An 180W power adapter, designed for P150EM or P170EM work on a W870CU or M570TU ?
    Are there smaller and slimmer adapters that will work with these machines, for instance 150W ?

    I am looking for an adapter that offers more than 120W of power, like 150W or 180W, but which is still similar or smaller in size than my old 120W adapter, which I am still using with my M570TU.

    Thanx.

    Well...smaller... the Cooler Master 120W one is kinda small.
    But you want at least 150W.

    My Fortron 150W universal adapter is the same size as the 120W clevo original.
    But you still want smaller than the original.

    I'd say go with a Fortron 150W. Its cheap, comes with a carrying pouch and 11 tips.
    And works like a boss under my W370ET.

    The 180W Sager adapters have a 5.5mm OD / 2.5mm ID barrel connector and are 19V. If your laptop uses a 19V adapter and has the same barrel connector you should be good to go.

    As far as I know it uses the same 19V connected.
    I will go with the Fortron 150W adapter. Thank you very much.
