    Hey guys, do you ever feel that the four pin power plug used on the Sager's feels very loose ? It almost seems like it's an accident/electrical leak waiting to happen because i feel even the slightest tug will loosen the plug from the socket. It doesn't have the satisfying click or enough depth i feel to make me feel confident it's going to stay in.

    Does anyone else feel the same way? Also, can anyone who has owned a Sager for a number of years comment on the longevity of this power port? I unplug and plug the power cable probably 2-3 times a day. Is that something I should look to avoid doing so frequently ? Thanks.

    Clevo has had the loose plug issue for years, across many different notebooks. My P170HM suffers from it, as did my M860TU nearing 5 years ago.

    It's sad they can't get that straightened out.

    It can depend on which adapter is shipped with the machine as they vary in clamping and diameter slightly.
