Just go to the Apple store and be like "I want the little one, mine came with the big one."

They will most likely give you a little one.]]>Jul 20th 2007 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 20th 2007 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/
I'm returning the whole thing tomorrow and getting it replaced.]]>Jul 21st 2007 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/probably in "3-4 weeks."

And on another note, I went to the store today and they replaced my defective laptop with a brand new one lickity split!]]>Jul 21st 2007 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 20th 2007 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 20th 2007 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 20th 2007 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 20th 2007 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 21st 2007 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/
This is a post about a power adapter? A power adapter? Come on... is that really anything worth mentioning? Or is it just a slow day in the offices?]]>Jul 20th 2007 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/
However, I must say that the macbook power adapters have for me been one of the most pleasant things about toting around a macbook. The fact that they have provisions to roll up the cable into a great compact little package is nothing to snort at.]]>Jul 20th 2007 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 20th 2007 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/
Think different. Here's an idea for Apple, patent a gadget that can send electricity over the air so you can enjoy true wireless everything and not have to be close to an outlet for internet or juice to keep you going.]]>Jul 20th 2007 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 20th 2007 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 20th 2007 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/
SERIOUSLY, I'd not really care about the size if they could bring the heat down a tad. Some day that thing is going to be stuck between pillows on the couch, catch fire, then we'd all be in a fine mess.

easy solution - you know how these bricks are prone to breaking.. and they get replaced under warranty... just don't overdo it with the high voltage, OK?

The part where the cable comes out also looks rather fragile. Looks like that would break very easily.

And those burn marks on the mag-safe piece look rather dangerous.

The thing with power adapters is, companies will usually replace them under warranty no questions asked because a power adapter failure can expose the company to very expensive lawsuits. They won't second-guess you when you bring in your old brick.

Many possibilities... but then again, I am not a scammer so I will just end up coughing up the $80 ;)]]>Jul 20th 2007 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 20th 2007 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/

Only 2 DAYS after receiving my new $2500 MacBook Pro, they go and release a smaller power adapter. You would think the Apple tools would have included it in my custom to order laptop but NOOOO...

Very lame Apple...]]>Jul 20th 2007 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 20th 2007 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/
Now they need to fix the "waking from sleep takes too long" problem and these things are perfect.]]>Jul 20th 2007 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Jul 21st 2007 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/20/apples-macbookpro-85w-magsafe-adapter-finally-shrunk/Its a good thing Apple makes such high quality products or I would be pissed.

PS- Before someone tells me I got a lemon; Apple replaced the system the 4th time I brought it in. From a CD MBP to a C2D MBP....So much for the myth of Rev B being substantially better then A. Sometime in '08 I'm trading this thing in for a Dell. At least Dell sends someone out to YOU. Instead of Apple keeping your laptop days on end. To date they have had my CBP a total of about 3 weeks while they "fix" it. Apple Care my ass. More like Apple bend over and wait for it.
