I'm looking to get a second AC adapter for my laptop. My current AC adapter is 120W (19 volts 6.3A).

So my question is this, will it hurt anything to get an adapter that is say 100w? Im wanting to get a universal one with multiple tips, because theyre cheaper, and it would be nice to have more flexibility.

I know I probably shouldnt go with something in the 60-70w range, but 100 is awfully close.

I dont see it causing any problems, but I thought Id ask.
 
Ehh..that could potentially cause problems. There's probably a reason why your laptop uses a 120watt adapter. A 100 watt one might over heat trying to pump out enough power, and the battery might not charge properly.
