The cable is inexpensive and so it is no surprise that the plugs are simply poured into a plastic socket. More expensive connectors are often not cast, but mounted and therefore have a minimal sized and equally large everywhere dimensionally stable supernatant as amended. When compared to the high end Adaptersteckern CSL - 3in1 Mini DisplayPort to VGA + HDMI + DVI adapter (converter) | PC + MAC / APPLE | Gold contacts or Lindy Premium - DisplayPort cable - DisplayPort (M), 41552 is seen that the Mini DisplayPort connector of Lenovo cable is actually bordered unnecessarily wide and about a good millimeter is given away on each side.
When Lenovo X1 Carbon 35.5 cm (14 inches) Notebook (Intel Core i7 4550U, 1.5GHz, 3GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Intel HD Graphics 5000, Win 8) black Mini DisplayPort connector fits narrowly alongside a (not bulky) USB connector and only leads to (in my case) small unacceptable tilting of the two connectors. With a small modification of the mold Lenovo could leave. Otherwise technically impeccable.
