YAY! My MBP #2 came today and when I opened it the internal shipping case looked weird and I was like o_O literally. BUT! Much to my liking the new power adapter is the mini version. So cute. I could just hug it. Oops, I did.
are you sure? When did you order it? When did they ship it?
 
Perhaps now people won't be thinking that I have an external hard drive on my desk. (I actually get that a lot of times)

That would make for a pretty attractive external hard drive. Anyone at Apple listening? Bus powered iDrive?
 
For everyone wondering about my MBP shipment w/ the new charger:
Shipment Date:
JUL 20, 2007

Delivers by:
JUL 24, 2007

But it came today actually, the 23rd. And yes, I am sure it is the new one. My original MBP was sent back for a scratch/scuff and this adapter is pretty small in comparison to the old masonry brick. ^_^

Yep. I chat what Apple today and they confirmed that it's the new adapter! MA938....

Sweet! Mine shipped Friday the 21st, hopefully it will come with the new one as well! :)
 
...only thing I'm a little upset about is I just ordered the Brenthaven case and the little adapter pouch but it's for the old adapter.../sigh
 
Same size as last powerbook revision?

Is this the same size as the last powerbook g4 revision now, or is it even smaller? I'm going to have to add one of these to my bag of goodies.
 
For people who order power adapters, did the original fail or did you just purchase an extra one? Does AppleCare warranty the power adapter also if it fails?

my 85W magsafe mbp adapter is having problems for the last couple of days. The thin flimsy DC cable is flaky near the brick due to normal wear and tear in the last 15 months. Its loose and doesnt work consistently. Do you think it will be covered by APP? I had purchased APP when i bought the MBP in May last year. Will be taking it to the store today. Hoping that i will be able to get a replacement under warranty :)
 
Small Magsafe introduced from build week XX?

Hey can some people who have already received the smaller 85W Magsafe please post what build week their MBP's are so that we can get an idea of what build week on has it...

If you don't know how to check what build week your machine is look at the serial number, the two digits after the first "7" indicate the build week eg. W8725xxxxxx would mean a machine was built in week 25.

Thanks!
 
UPDATE:

I just recieved my week 29 here @ work and it still has the large magsafe. :( bollocks!

Yeah please check your serial. I have a week 29 on its way and would be sweet if it was to be delivered with the more compact adapter.

you can't at least open it and boot it up and just let it sit there, as a beautiful compliment to your desk?
 
Maybe this new one won't be a flimsy piece of crap

The one that came with my MBP was busted on arrival. Sure, they sent a new one, but it seems that the old power brick wasn't built so well.
 
I got the small new adapter as well in my replacement! It works pretty cool compare to original big one! :apple:

But my screen is again Samsung and has 1/3 yellow tint problem :(

This is my 5th replacement, what's the probability to getting samsung screen on every other MBP I got??? :mad:

I have
 
... what's the probability to getting samsung screen on every other MBP I got??? :mad:

I'd say your probability is 50% then. :D

The yellowing problem sucks though. Hope they get it right (for you) soon. BTW, how are you profiling your screen to know it's samsung?
 
An apple chat representative had no clue as to a smaller power adapter when I asked. If I order an adapter online, as it says 3-4 weeks, will this for sure be the new model?
 
that's why all the darkside people (read window$ users) call us fanboys, a 5 pages thread just for the power adapter :eek:
 
My MBP just showed up, and sure enough it has the small power adapter!

Yeah,.... I wanna know the week too,.... this week is week 29. Seems like some has the old one, others has smaller new ones from week 29.

Can you post ur week and whether 15" or 17"?

Cheers!

Isn't week 29 from July 22nd to 28th? If it's manufactured between those dates, how can yours be shipped on 19th?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Its a 17", no idea what week. I ordered a hi-res, which was a CTO--it was backordered for two weeks before it shipped.
