    Hi Everybody,

    Probably going to be ordering the S7 Gamer here pretty soon. Looking forward to having a powerful, semi-portable, virtualization lab that can play games. :)

    I'm going to be taking it between home and work mostly. I'd like to have 2 power adapters so that I can just unplug the machine without having to crawl around and deal with power adapters. Also I find that this cuts down on PA failures.

    Is anybody using 2 adapters? If so where did you get yours & how much was it?

    There's one on Amazon for around $80 US but it looks like it's a 3rd party vendor. I've had mixed results with 3rd party electronics and I'm hoping somebody has some feedback (good or bad) on it, or a good place to buy a spare original adapter.

    Thanks!

    I will be looking for an extra one sooner or later too, don't have any leads yet.

    I am also kinda wondering if we can use adapters from more standard power connectors. I have 2 extra pretty powerful PSUs from my last laptop.

    The third party PSUs have a range of qualities and prices. I would look for a universal PSU including a Samsung compatible plug from one of the big names in 3rd party equipment.
