When you refer to the power cord being hot, do you mean
- just the transformer
- the part from the wall socket to the transformer
- the part from the transformer to the laptop
- some combination (please specify)
If you mean anything other than option 1 then I suspect you've got a problem, the actual wiring should not get hot.
These transformers are often only just big enough to do the job, and consequently they do get quite hot, far too hot IMO.
Of course, if they supplied a more suitable adapter it would cost them about $0.50 more, and that would push the price to the consumer up by about $10.
