Nope. Those said power bricks usually have quite a bit of empty space in them. If power output is a concern with higher output bricks I am certain they put some effort into thermals. They do. But I've seen very large Dell bricks (literally the size of one) that ran very hot for ...
It could be something related to power delivery... Either on the mobo (very bad, almost never worth fixing) or the power brick (very good, simple & cheap-ish). But this is just guess work. If it is still under warranty - I personally would go down that route. Expand I ...
Chargers can get hot, so you want to trust that yours won’t catch fire or otherwise damage your laptop. That’s why we avoid cheaper brands that we haven’t heard of or tested. USB PD 3.0 supports up to 100W of power to the laptop. USB PD 3.1 can reach 240W, which is useful ...

That's the point: this laptop MUST be upgraded with dual channel fast RAM (3000 would be optimal, but is expensive) for full power! However I think the heat-pipe design is wrong in this laptop: RX580 requires a lot of power and can get really hot. I would have put more heat-pipes...

The notebook ships with a 240 watt power brick that's slim but has a big footprint, not unlike the laptop itself. That's a perfectly adequate power supply with watts to spare, so the charger never gets burning hot and charge levels don't drop when gaming plugged into power. If you ...

This system runs over the GPU’s memory, and it only kicks in when temperatures get too hot. If you just look at overall temperatures across laptops, it doesn’t seem like the liquid cooling is doing much. It doesn’t keep the Legion 9i cooler; it allows the Legion 9i to be smaller...
