Mine came today. It arrived with tips M5, N2, M1, N4. It's hard to tell which tips are supposed to be included from Kensington's site. It does not have the zippered pouch to carry everything in it but that is a small concession for ~$80 off new retail prices. The tips in the pic on geeks.com do not match up with what I have. I picked up the Dell tip pack from compusa for $10. The adapter and everything looked brand new. It powers and charges the Dell Latitude D620 with no issues so far. The form factor is perfect for those thin front pockets on most laptop carrying cases. I'm tempted to grab a second one. 🙂

Got the same tips! I wanted the iPod one too! Works great, very slim and light. Wider than I anticipated. Also the 2 inch cord that connects to AC is weird. The powerbrick just dangles there. Great deal nonetheless.
 
I like mine so far. Its wider but flatter. Better for the laptop bag. I got N2,N4,M1 and M5 also. Geeks says you should get N3,N4,N9 and J3. I needed N3. I think its the most common one. A friend and I are splitting a pack. I was able to mickeymouse the the N4 and it charged and ran great. Also geeks was very easy to work with on the mistake in the order. They are resending the missing invoice item at no cost.
 
Hmm... got an N2, huh? That's one of the tips that would actually be useful to me if I bought one...

Is everybody getting the N2 tip in their orders, or is it random what people are getting?

EDIT: It seems geeks.com updated the description to include N2, N4, M1, and M5 tips now.
 
I got an N9 tip which the website says will work with my V4000T but it doesn't fit. Apparently Compaq changed the socket very recently and they're still working on a replacement HP/Compaq tip. 🙁
 
Where do I find out what tip I need to get? Do I need a special Kensington-made tip, or would other branded tips work on this Universal Adapter? I have a Toshiba A105-S4054 (OEM Adapter is 15Vx5A=75W).

Edit: nm, found my answer: Tip Compatibility
