EU Power Plug for PowerAdapter

[BartZiller]

I am wondering whether I can buy a power cable and/or a power adapter plug for the New MacBook Pro 15" to use it in Europe if you travel overseas.

I do not want to buy the apple travel adapter kit for 50 bucks because I do not need all of these connectors and plugs. I am just looking for a specific European plug (Germany).

The beauty of apple's power adapters is that you can remove the plug and replace it, however I did not find anywhere just a plug for purchase- it should be just a couple bucks for such an item. Of course I can go to the German apple store and but the whole adapter but this is ridiculous, isn't it?

The power supply 110V/220V is not a problem - so you do not need a power converter - just a diffrent plug for different outlets.

And ideas would be appreciated.

Go to Radio Shack and buy an adapter for Germany. I did the same thing 4 weeks ago. $2.

IIRC Germany just uses the standard type C connector you can find adapters for pretty much anywhere that sells electronics. It'll cost you like 3 dollars for a little plug adapter that will fit on the end of your standard US plug. Or you can try something like this.

+1, I use these adapters all the time. And $3 is way too much.

Or this ebay auction looks good to me. What do you think? The cable approach is also a very good idea.

You'll get almost identical effect with an adapter, just removable. It would be worth it if it had pins you could fold, like they do in original Apple plug.
