Save $ 40 on a MacBook Pro PSU Kit

    This story began with the fact that two days before his arrival, his wife’s relatives said that they would stop by to visit us for a short while and not bring us anything. I must add that they live in the states and as it turned out they have an Apple Store around the corner.

    So slowly the idea of ​​acquiring the brand new MacBook Pro 15 "with an intel i5 processor began to mature.

    Since there was only two days to make a decision and find money - the idea that in the USA and in our penises - different electric plugs crept into my brain when the computer was already in flight. My fears that the power supply will be strictly at 110 volts did not materialize - since Apple in this matter decided that the power supplies should work anywhere in the world, but they will sell the plugs for $ 40 for a set of all kinds of plugs of any standards which only happen.

    To pay 40 evergreens for a set of forks, to be honest, the toad choked me, and the computer was already on the road and it was not possible to get this set together with the device itself.
    Therefore, a small adapter from an American plug to a European plug was purchased, he peeled out exactly two “plugs” into the outlet, and then crumbled into rubbish.

    By that time, I was looking at the delivery set with the power supply, there were two plugs in it, one small one, which rotates inside the case.

    And one more removable corner with a cord about a meter long at the end of which there was an American version of a grounding plug.

    So the earth is connected on the power supply itself.

    Without further ado, I purchased a collapsible electric plug, which costs a penny and looks quite nice and not “collective farm”.
    After that, the American version was bitten off without regret and the version that was standard for our parts was attached.
