How hot...

Should a laptop PSU get?

I've just got an HP 6525em and its power supply get hot enough for me to be concerned. Once it's been on an hour or so it gets too hot to touch. It literally hurts my fingertips. I've never noticed this with the other few laptops I've used, macbooks and a couple of older (pentium and before!) intel based things.
