    I commute to work by bike every day w/ my M1210 in an over-the-shoulder bag. Size/weight is important, so I'm considering getting the Kensington 70w Slim Line adapter and leaving the stock Dell adapter at home.

    1) I've been reading comments on this forum in general on the Kensington adapter, but any more comments are welcome.
    2) I haven't been able to determine if this adapter comes with a tip that works in my Dell m1210, or if I'll have to order one seperately. Can anyone tell me? (I think most dell ac plug tips in the last couple years are standardized, but I'm playing it safe asking for the m1210 specifically.)
    3) Does the Dell tip fit well, or does it feel "loose" as is often complained about amoung Sony SZ owners?
    4) Is there another brand replacement adapter I should consider, given size/weight are my primary concerns?

    Yes, can someone answer this question? I am anxious to find an answer to the chunky AC adaptor...

    I have a 70w version and don't find it loose on the SZ Vaio. Also consider the 120w version. I'm currently looking for the cable that splits so I can charge my phone and laptop at same time. Any help?

    (tips are not an issue since you can search the Kensington site and check and if they have it but your package does not they ship one free to you - I don't see an M12 here, just M20 upwards http://www.eupowercenter.kensington.com/euTipsApp/English/process_tipRequest.jsp)

    (update: found the dual cable but not somewhere to buy as yet: http://uk.kensington.com/html/11468.html)
