I have a friend who has the laptop that look the same as my laptop, only it is bigger, I have lost my AC adapter, Is it ok if I use his AC adapter with my laptop? His AC adapter is bigger than mine

You need to know a few things.
1) Is the pin the same that connects with the laptop? There are +/- differences on occasion, but more importantly, a larger outside could bend the connection inside and ruin the DC input jack. A smaller one does not make good contact.
2) There's a voltage shown on each DC converter. The voltage needs to be very close as generally no more than 5% different and maybe less. If you lost yours, you should be able to check the specifications on ones sold for your laptop.
3) Wattage - needs to be equal or higher to assure power to run the PC and charge the battery. Extra available wattage is normally not an issue.

Lenovo only actually manufactures Thinkpads, but, only Asus and MSI remain as laptop manufacturers.
The Acer, HP, Dell, Toshiba, etc are just brand names and not the true manufacturer.

Notice BRAND vs MANUFACTURER.
So, the DC adapter for a Dell may be the same one as HP or Lenovo (Thinkpad is more special).
Ideapads get good quality control.

Looks like times are changing, and Asus cut their own manufacturing and Pegatron partnership

As long as it fits and as long as the polarity (+/-) is the same.

Same specifications as the standard 65W AC adapter that ships with select ThinkPad and Lenovo systems. It is the smallest adapter currently available from Lenovo.
US/Canada and Japan adapter models are 2-pin; all other country adapter models are 3-pin
Compatible with all ThinkPad X Series laptops and with select ThinkPad Edge, R, T, and Z60 Series and Lenovo 3000 laptops (with integrated graphics only). Also compatible with the ThinkPad Essential Port Replicator.
Backed by Lenovo's limited warranty with renowned Service and Support available from IBM

Is it alright to use wrong rating power adapter? Technically no, each laptop adapter are designed in order for the the hardware components to work. However, if you insists to use wrong adapter, you can cause damage to your laptop and in most case scenario, fire outbreak in your home.

In additional:
Check the polarity.
Check the A.
Check the voltage.
