Re: AC Power Adapter

I have a new notebook & the AC Power Adapter feels quite warm. It
supplies power & charges the batter. This may be normal, but since
the notebook is new, I would like to know whether this is quite
normal.

Also, what size (joles) surge protector is best for this type of
computer?

Ask those you bought it from while it is still new.
This has nothing to do with Windows XP at all - it is a hardware issue.

In other words - it wouldn;t matter if you were running OS X, *nix or any
other OS on the system in question - your questions do not concern the
Operating System, but the hardware and thus questions like that should be
directed to the manufacturer/reseller of said laptop.
