That is not called "wipping", that's not even a word.

Then it would just be nonsense, and looking at their reply to other comments I doubt they ment whipping.

Whipping around is a regular idiom.

It means turning with suddenness.

The machine doens't wobble because there's an Ethernet plugged in. The flappy thing is just to maintain the curve. I dont think it even touches the table when plugged in.

I can't speak to previous versions of the hinge port, but as a network engineer who is constantly using it I've had no complaints with the one from my 2024 model.

The complaint about the one I have on my work ZBook is that removing the cable is more fiddly
