    Hi,

    Looking for a second smaller more portable Power Supply for Clevo P150EM I can carry in my bag? Recommendations?

    The new one is even bigger than my old M570TU's Power Supply which is an achievement.

    If one exists that's smaller I'd appreciate knowing so I can buy it to use when I'm out.

    Appreciate your time

    Thanks

    A 120W would suffice for basic work, but I wouldn't game with it though. The machine can easily surpass 120W with most any game using dedicated GPU.

    Thanks yes I am still looking. I'll have a look at those. I can just buy another brick from my reseller but I'd prefer something lighter/thinner/more portable.

    Quick question. I have an old spare power supply from my Clevo M570TU which is actually far more portable than the one from my P150EM (I remember thinking the brick from the M570TU was big! pfffff what do I know! ;))

    Anyway it's rated at Output 20V -- 6.0A

    The new P150EM brick is rated at Output 19V -- 9.47A

    Same connector.

    Can I use the M570TU brick with the P150EM without damaging the P150EM?

    Voltage is only 1V difference so I'm thinking with tolerances of +/-10% (who knows what a PSU is actually outputing?) this should be OK and Amps well is the P150EM drawing the full 9.47A or would 6A be enough?

    Maybe I'll fry the PSU??? No loss...

    But I don't want to fry the laptop of course.

    I've read through this...
