A:Answer Your power cord should not be getting hot, no. We recommend keeping an eye on it, and if it continues to be unusually/unnecessarily hot, then please reach out to our Tech Support team. As far as the 5G connection is concerned, this is reliant upon your home internet service; if your cable/internet plan does not even offer 5G, then it's nothing to be concerned about. The laptop's internet response is still largely dependent on what your general internet speed is, and does not impact how fast the computer is.
