    I would recommend grabbing the N27 instead, even though it fits, it gives the palm rest the electric tingle and overvoltages the CPU causing it to give off excessive heat. I havea N27 coming in the mail (also a P1 tip for my IPaq) both for free cuz 1 customer service didnt take my serial number for my 120 watt AC/DC Adapter and 1 was ordered thru the phone(Acco Canada) and 1 was thru the internet (main kensington site). I feel cheap but yeah, i'm happy :D.

    And I do not get tingling from the Original adapter and mine is a SZ1X so I dont know where your tinglings are coming from (Except the universal chargers)

    I will eventually get the N27, but I've been using N4 with NO problems since April. Not even a tingle, no additional heat. Mine is the SZ90, so we have the same generation.

    FYI - I bought the N27 this weekend and switched it with the N4. I notice no difference in heat or system operation.

    I've been using the N27 every since I got my Kensington. Don't expect a better fit. It's pretty loose.
