    Can someone post a pic or comment on the size of the a/c adaptor? Is it big, bulky, thin etc?
    Also, as far as my knowledge goes with this particular model, the only complaints are with the battery locking, and maybe clicking noise on the HDD. Is there anything other complaints besides that?
    Thank you

    I don't get any clicking noise from my HDD, and the battery seems to be in place pretty good. It doesn't wiggle or anything at all, except maybe like a cm up and down, but it doesn't lose connection and it's not enough to worry about.

    The AC adapter is 2" wide, 5" long, and 1 1/4" depth. Not very big at all IMO.

    I also don't get any clicking noise from my hard drive, and no problems with my battery falling out. It barely moves.

    The AC adapter is fairly small, as MY indicated.

    Wiggling 'a cm up and down' is quite large... I've seen a lot of posts from people who said the battery wiggled so much that it fell right out.. but I think perhaps they didn't lock the battery in. There's a small switch on the battery that lets you lock it in. Once locked in.. the battery really barely moves.

    I think he meant "mm" instead of "cm."

    Picture is attached. It was taken from my phone in low light, so excuse the poor quality. (Thick lines: 1 inch. Thin lines: 0.5 inches.)
