Also, I've had to replace many charging ports on Toshibas. Same type of issue, the plastic that holds the charging port tends to break if you insert your AC adapter wrong or give it a little pressure at a bad angle. This is just my experience with them, fixing other peoples mistakes. I'm sure if you handle it gingerly you won't have too many problems.
Are you talking about the ones that are plastic casing on the outside as well or is the plastic on the inside? The one OP got has a nice metal casing around it which is what you'll get with the nicer computers.
