Woo hoo! Apple has released an airline power adapter with their patented MagSafe connector for use with Macbook and Macbook Pro notebooks. The description of the new product on the Apple website indicates that it does not charge your battery, but it does power your notebook. This is great news for those of us who have been lugging around airplane DC to AC power inverters and getting mixed results inflight.
I’ve ordered one, which is good because I’ll be flying halfway across the Pacific Ocean next month, and I will surely be bringing my Macbook. Apple’s site indicates that this adapter is not compatible with automobile power ports, once called cigarette lighter sockets (during the last century). If you look at the image shown on their site, it appears that there is minimal if any electronics involved in this power adapter. There is no brick, just connectors at each end.
You can see the new Apple MagSafe Airline Power Adapter at the Apple Store.
