    Does the cable light up like the ones from m11x r2/ m15x with a blue coil led?

    Lmao...it's bigger than most laptop adapters, flatter and longer too. The cable is thicker as well. You know Alienware: go big or go home :-S I for one don't like it.

    It's about the length of a pilot G2 or similar sized pen.

    Ya, probably the one complaint I have about the computer so far. The power brick doesn't fit in the Mobile Edge neoprene case. I have to find some other place to carry it.
