What is the weight and size of the power chord? usually they all are heavy for 17inch machines. How about wifi performance? details on above please.

I have had no wifi performance issues to date. The power chord is actually better than the Dell equipment, as in it is a longer chord. However, it isn't a large gauge. I'm very satisfied with the laptop and have not had any issues to date unlike the Dell Inspiron that I returned after malfunctions and crappy customer service.

The power adaptor is no larger than any other for a laptop, not especially heavy, about the same as for my 15" Inspiron. Wifi works well, never had a problem with it.

I can't give you the exact weight, but its not heavy at all. I have another 15" HP laptop that has a much heavier power cord. Haven't had any problems with the wifi performance.

by all means get the larger one. It will charge your laptop faster. It will also have less likelihood of being a subpar device.the only difference between getting the bigger and smaller ones would be that's a smaller one is somewhat lighter but really not enough to make a difference especially when you consider performance.I work on machines as my profession. I almost never see a burnt out 90 watt power supply . . . most of the burnt out power supplies that I see are 65 watt power supplies. Good luck!

Yes it will hold a medium weight power supply. Please note, if your power supply is 3 prong, you will be able to use a heavier cord/power supply. I use this with a 2 prong Asus Zenbook power supply, it works wonderfully. Bottom line: yes it should work for your medium weight power supply.

Being an older model (800-1.2 Ghz, 12 to 14 inches ) ( excellent machine BTW ) with the rounded pin, it should work. There is an excess of power ( 20 w ) but it is not worrisome , a slight increase in the temperature ( battery ) perhaps should disconnect the computer once in a while. Glad to be of service.

I would like to know more too.Bluetooth?Wireless G/N?Webcam?3 vs 6 cell battery?Is the weight actually 6 pounds? On dell's website they list the weight as starting at 3 pounds (of course, that is with the 3 cell battery).Come on Amazon...you can give us a better description than this.

The answer about the power adapter being proprietary is the best one. The connection between power cord and device is a unique one, however you can add an extender to the other end if you need to. I think the power cord was like 5 feet

There's a deal on the without cord price today. You can pick up an inexpensive cord here: C2G / Cables To Go 27400 AWG 3-Slot Laptop Power Cord for NEMA 5-15P to IEC320C5 (6 Feet)

If you're looking for a light weight machine this is not it... that being said, I travel for work for a living and I wanted a big screen machine to help me with various programs and plenty of work space, and this machine defintly delivered. The specified weight is true (5 lbs) which in my book is heavy, but for the size of the laptop (15'6 in) is a great value... Realistic battery life, varies with what programs you have open, but I'll say about 5-6 hours with normal use. If you are looking for a big screen laptop, with some extra features like touchcreen and motion control, for a reasonable price, I would recommend this Lenovo.

unfortunately...you need power to gain volume, dynamics & staging. Good power 'aint-cheap' as they say. I have 90 wpc running the mb42's which i would describe as greater than adequate. they are rated at only 85db( LOW efficiency) this means they will take 30-50 wpc, just to 'loosen-up' thats your're trade-off.--i urge you to consider a good T-Amp rated about 75-80 wpc.

The unit itself does not come with the power chord, however, it does provide you with easy hook up instructions and connecting wirenuts. I personally used my old chord from the unit I was replacing. EASY FIX!

Mine is currently weighing in at 5 lbs 60 oz. Perhaps they are including power cable, but even that couldn't be more than another lb.

I agree with james cho, spend a few extra bucks and get a corsair, preferably a 750 watt. Very good cordage...use only what you need and very reliable.

This cord is way to heavy for your needs, Just buy a good lawn and garden cord,it will work fine for an electric lawn mower and is a lot lighter to drag around.Cheers,Dan

Mine came with the 90 Watt power adapter and the power cord, although the same adapter and cord that I already had with the ThinkPad notebook would have also worked with the dock. These docks are no longer being made or sold by Lenovo, so they are either leftover old stock or refurbished, and are being provided by third-party sellers. Mine came from a different seller than the one Amazon is currently showing, so I think you need to contact the listed seller and ask them the question directly (if you click on the seller's name in Amazon's listing, it will take you to the seller's page where there is a "contact seller" link).

I appreciate the posts regarding the use of 17" laptops on lapdesks. It's difficult to find lapdesks designed for larger laptops, so I appreciate reading reviews about how good/bad the various products work.

The speakers need electric power, but use 2.4GHz (same as bluetooth or WiFi) to communicate with the sending unit. The power cords are a standard 3 ft. These work fine if you are not relying on something like an iPhone that is reading off the WiFi or another bluetooth device, as it interferes with other devices on that frequency.

I would not recommend trying to support the weight of anything from the electrical plug/cord. The cords I received are quite tight on the female end, but the male end, (blades), were never designed to support weight. I have attached restraints to keep the 1 foot cords in place within an portable cabinet. I used plastic zip ties. In this manner, there is no additional weight placed on either the cord plug, or the outlet. There are companies that make retainers to prevent cords from pulling apart, but they are normally seen on construction sites where tools are being used repeatedly and the guys just pull the cord along with the tool. Mostly the cord is tied into a knot for this purpose. For the laptop power supply, I would try to extend it to either the floor, or another location to allow the supply cord to rest on. I hope this helps, and good luck!
