    Is it just me, or does the Charging Jack Connector on the cable feel really cheap? It just doesn't look like it is going to hold up for the long haul.

    I know I've yanked out the charging more than a few times on my old XPS-1640, and it held up like a champ, but not sure this one will.

    So in my opinion, this is definitely a potential weak point on the New Dell XPS-15.

    I wonder when othe companies are going to follow Apple's lead with the Mag Safe charging connector?

    The dell charger jack is just fine. I doubt if it will be problematic.
    Personally I see no need to ape the crApple jack.

    Something like what is done on the Surface would be fine as well, though I do like the current Dell jack.
