Title: Careful, the Dell XPS 15 9500 AC adapter can get really hot at up to 60 C or 140 F

Most AC adapters we've seen typically stay under 50 C when stressed and rarely do they ever go beyond 60 C. If you own the small 90 W AC adapter that ships with the latest XPS 15 series, however, then you might want to be extra careful about where you position it.

Long story short, the adapter gets really hot, like a typical dell.

If you are baking cookies on your dell laptop and the laptop burns out, you can now switch to using the adapter to bake.

I have to say, I've never seen my RB15 adapter (Advanced, 230W) get hotter than 40-45 degrees. With 65+, you guys probably got a one-of-a-kind Antarctica-spec unit.
