    Is it just be or is the power socket on the m1530 a little loose, as if it might fall out. Mine holds in place somewhat but the slightest bit of movement and it comes out a bit. Not a major problem but rather know now than later on if it's a bigger issue.

    Yep, mine is the same. It's an octagonal socket, but a round pin on the PSU that was supplied.

    Its not a major problem for me, but i had a proper octagonal connector on another Dell once, and the fit was lovely and snug.

    I will probably ask them for a replacement shortly, just havent gotten around to it yet.

    I think every single M1530 is the same way. Wish there was a way to "tighten" it up, like some other corrective surgery out there :)
