    Does anyone else's power cord come out of the M1530 with unusual ease?
    Just seems as though it came out with little/no effort.

    Mine's a little loose. Not as far as coming out easy, but from side to side. Never did like the power jack of Dells. Had major problems with my 9300.

    Prefer the style of jack on my Gateway. Inserted on the left side like the M1530, but the jack is angled 90 degrees so it doesn't stick out as much and it snaps in place. To me, that angle lessens the chance of it being hit or snagged, and the port becoming loose inside because of it.

    mine is pretty snug. I'd say a little less than pulling a usb out

    When I first plugged mine in, I thought I hadn't pushed far enough. It's pretty loose.

    Mine seems to be a bit loose too. Comes out with little or no resistance.

    It being loose is not a terrible thing. Less chance of someone tripping over wire and have it crashing off your desk or something.
