Reduce pressure on laptop power cord connectors

I disagree, any such stress would simply force the cable to 'pop' out of the clip.

Rather than loop the cable back on itself simply make a loop __O__ ?

In any event, you are going to end up with a power block with a damaged connector, because they are just poor deisgns.

I'm talking about the location where the cable is not attached to the clip, and it will now be bent at a sharp angle around a sharp[er] object than the stain relief on the plug. Repeated bending there from everyday movement of the cable/computer will cause it to fail faster.
