Hi, I recently got a laptop that I don't have a Power supply unit for, so as the Charger that I have for 2 of my other laptops fit it and has the same voltage. Currently there is no major problems. However is this safe to do? Will the low amps affect it?

Specs:
AC adapter
19volts 3.42amps

Laptop:
19volts 3.95amps

Also the power supply is running a bit hot.
Please tell me if this is ok.

The charger will run a full power. Hence, it will run hotter than if it was charging a device with a lower amperage. Other than the heat there should not be a problem.
