    I was looking in a store today at some F models but they were behind some glass display cabinets so I couldn't really have a closer inspection.

    I was looking at the DC IN port (where you plug your charger in) and it would seem Sony finally decided to put the DC IN inside the actual laptop rather than it being a separate piece (the bezel on the FW is separate from the body of the machine and held on by a little screw)

    So that leads me to my question, has the F got no issues with the DC IN and does it not break off the machine if enough pressure is applied?

    I've tripped over my power cord a few times and yanked it out of the socket. I'm surprised nothing broke and am happy that it didn't. :)

    If I did that with my FW it would probably break instantly lol.
