MacBook DC Power Adapter?

[Mlebout]

I recently ordered my first Apple computer (17" c2d 2.33 pro). Can someone tell me where or if I can get a DC Charger/Adapter for my new Notebook?

Also, at the risk of repeating someone else’s question, has Apple started shipping 17” notebooks yet and if so are delivery estimates accurate?

Thanks,

the MBP comes with a wall charger...

what exactly are you looking for?


and yeah i would say the shipping estimates are accurate, give or take a few days

Im guessing by DC, you mean you want to be able to charge it in, say, your car.

There's no such product that allows this that I am aware of ?

ah.. in that case, you can get one of these, but compatibility in cars hasn't been confirmed, and it just powers the computer (it doesn't charge the battery).

The MagSafe Airline Power Adapter is not compatible with automobile power ports.

read third comment down 🙂

I just tested this in my car - a 2006 Honda Civic. It works fine and even shows a charge indication when the car is running.

looks like it may work 😀

Thanks for the info...

I guess I could also buy a DC converter, they have really come down in price.


Thanks again,
