[QUOTE="Redbrick, post: 128999, member: 11288"] This thought just occured to me...I wonder why Apple did not use the same brushed aluminum to encase the powerbook's powerblock. Seems more appropriate since the plastic finish of the power block matches the ibook better. Surely the small extra sheet of metal required would not kill the cost of the powerbook...or the fabrication. Even more, the apple logo could light up to indicate the existence of power...that would be sweet. I suppose the alternative is the european version of the power block adapter...yuck. What do y'all think? (me thinks I should patent this idea) :dummy: [/QUOTE]
