    How flexible is the AGA cable? I don't have a lot of room on my desk and it's up against a wall, I already use a L adapter to make the HDMI cable drop straight down against the wall instead of sticking out the back of the laptop, Is there an L adapter or version of the AGA cable? If not then I kind of have no room for it at all on my desk, the only other way I could set it up the power adapter is in the way because it sticks out the side.

    It's quite annoying when all the cables you need are not coming out of the same side of your machine.

    No L-adapter exists, but cable is somewhat flexible. Enough to make a curved L at the end.

    It's probably 14-16 GA wire. You're going to want at least a 4-5" Radius to avoid cable fatigue or failure. It's a proprietary cable.
