    Anyone with the S5xx series, especially the S560, use the kensington 120W adaptor?
    I searched the forum, but most are for the SZ series.

    I thought it was the N15 tip, but I forgot how I know that.
    The SZ used the N4, but then someone said it's upgraded to N27.

    Infact, the Kensington website said the S500 series don't have a compatible tip. However, they have a listing for S53B/S, S72PB/B, S92PS and S93PS which use the N27 tip. I'm not sure which equivalent of these model to the US ones.

    I have all the three N4, N15, and N27 tips, but N27 seemed to be the longest, and it's longer that the stock tip from the original adaptor.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Since the SZ use the same power adaptor as the S560, I've decided to use the N27 tip as it's supposed to be designed to provide better power than the N4.

    What do you mean by "better power"? I think the N4 works just fine.
