    When I'm running my R60 off AC power, I noticed the adapter block gets quite hot. About as hot as holding a mug of hot coffee. I've never had an AC adapter run this hot before.

    Is this normal? - I'm just worried in case it overheats or catches fire.

    Ah, maybe it's because I'm running off 240v

    I'll keep an eye on it and let you know if I see smoke.... ;-)

    My Z60m one is slightly warm, but not warmer than the palm rest...
