I remember when I had my PB Ti, a known issue was that the Power input from the charger used to come loose easily and was a source of frustration for many. However, I am having the same problem with the new AiBook... If I so much as shift the unit a little, the light goes out and I stop charging. It's seems overly sensitive. Shall I contact apple for a new one, or are they all this way?

thanks again

I haven't had that kind of issue with my brick. I'd call Applecare and see what my options are if I were you.

My 12-in PB is about 22 months old. That JUST started happening to mine. But my cord was also quite frayed. I bought a new one. Again, my machine is nearly 2 years old and gets a lot of use and a LOT of being moved around by my kids, with the power cord attached.
