Lovely looking machine, thanks for posting, still not for me but very nice indeed. I didn't have the sound on but I'm guessing it's praising Apple for using a standard power adaptor after using magsafe for 10 years, as we know Magsafe only works with MacBooks and not everyone that buys a Macbook only wants to charge their Macbook with a Macbook charger, Apple are *******s for that.

LOL. I'm using an 2008 charger in my 2010 Macbook, I have another in my travel bag from a Macbook that I set on fire. I've never owned a Windows Laptop that could share a power supply and I own many.

To be fair, he has a point, you say you've owned many Windows laptops presumably all from different manufacturers. I'm still using a 2007 Thinkpad PSU with my current Thinkpad.
