    Can you wiggle your cord a little back and forth when your cable is plugged in? Have there been any issues with the AC power ports?


    I can wiggle mine a little, just wondering if anyone else can wiggle theirs a little, or are they rock solid?

    I'm pretty sure there will be a little bit of give. That's how all my notebooks have been.

    Ok good, I used to work for dell hardware support for latitude and I had at least 1 person a day with a broken port.


    Maybe dell has fixed this since 3 years ago.

    I kinda of like the wiggle room actually in some sense- someone hit my cord the other day... and instead of pulling the laptop off the table, it fell out and could have saved my computer from falling off the table. :)
