round of applause for mac:

Power play

The MagSafe Power Adapter is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So tripping over a power cord won't send your shiny new MacBook flying off a table or desk; the cord simply breaks cleanly away, without damage to either the cord or the system. As an added nicety, this means less wear on the connectors.

I remember reading about that a while ago. Cool concept.

yeah, but your speakers are facing up, away from the computer. the magnet they have is facing the harddrive.

crowina,

I would imagine if mac was investing 10's or hundreds of millions of dollars into making a new computer, they might have thought about it
