Alternative for the 1 x Netzteil 230 W

A slightly odd request - I purchased a new laptop (delivered to Germany) a few months ago. One thing I am slightly surprised about is simply the size and weight of the AC adapter (much heavier and larger than that for any previous laptop I've had - stated just as 1 x Netzteil 230 W on the order form).

Is there a alternative AC adapter I could purchase that would work with this laptop which would be lighter?


Spec as follows:

I'd contact PCS directly to ask this, I'd personally be wary of anyone suggesting an alternative power supply without getting confirmation from either PCS or the laptop manufacturer (I can't recall who that is, maybe Clevo? But I think it might be someone else).

Maybe I'm being overly cautious, but that's my two pence worth.

I would entirely agree with @steaky360 You don't want the aftermarket power supplies, they can often damage the battery or even worse

Thanks both for your response (for some reason, I thought representatives of PC Specialist answered queries on here, but I'll contact them directly as suggested)

They do occasionally, but its not super regular. Typically when folk need a response from PCS directly we forum dwellers usually recommend contacting them (PCS) directly otherwise you might be waiting a while for a response (and that's assuming an Admin even sees the thread).
