Brand New 2011 Macbook pro Not Charging while Plugged in

I purhcased a brand new 2011 17" macbook pro. The macbook will charge up to 100% while nothing is plugged in. When i start running applications it will switch to "Not charging" on the toolbar. This is while its plugged in.

This has happned when i have just 2 apps open.

I DJ a nightclub and sometimes have 4 apps open, which is not a lot and this doenst happen with my 2009 17" macbook pro.

I have done the SMC reset and this still happens.

I have read all the fourms and googled it and see im not alone.

From what i can see, and makes sense is, the new Quad-Core processors use more power, and with just the macbook running, even openign up 2 apps, its using about 95W of power. With the powersupply only 85W, it makes sense how it can switch to not charging.

From what i have seen, it will actually go down to about 3% of charge and stay there. It will say Not chargeing for a while, then go away like its charging, then switch back to not charging. It basicllys charges it enough to keep it around 3%.

now if i turn off all apps, it will charge back up, but that is hard to do in the middle of DJ'n the nightclub.

I know my best friend has this same issue on his 2011 macbook pro, he bought online from Apple, and i got mine from an Apple store about 4 months later, so i know its not the same batch.

I just want to know if anyone else is seeing this on the 2011 quad-core laptops and does anyone know if Apple is aware of this and are there plans on updating the powersupply to provide more power. Maybe 85W is not enough to charge it.

I have not opened a ticket with Apple yet but i will.

I just wanted to post this up to see if anyone is seeing this same thing.

Thanks
