[QUOTE="miles01110, post: 827761, member: 91347"] Err... the Magsafe adapter has 2 elements to it. The brick + magsafe cable which is Apple proprietary, and the connecting piece which uses a standard electrical port. It's perfectly secure. A cable is a cable, and mains frequency/voltage/amperage isn't affected by a cable. The connection between the nodes is arguably even more secure than that of Apple's "corner" piece, especially depending on how you orient the brick when you plug it into the wall. It doesn't matter if you have an iBook, a Powerbook G4, or a Macbook Pro- it's the same connection. As far as I can tell the only real reason to buy a new "corner" plug is cosmetic. Plugging the brick in directly has no ground and is not anywhere close to what I'd call space-efficient. [/QUOTE]
