Dumb question, but how come the MBP MageSafe power adapter doesn't have a ground prong like all other laptop power adapters have?
It does, on the extension cord that comes with it. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1630Dumb question, but how come the MBP MageSafe power adapter doesn't have a ground prong like all other laptop power adapters have?

Is it any less safe without the ground prong? I would think it should be there in the event of a power surge.

I find that if I use my power supply (UK) without the extension I get a "tingle" of electricity through the body of the MBP.
Lenovo's don't. Nor do some Compaq/HP.
I prefer this for travel adaptors since the two-wire cables pack smaller.
I know very little about UK wiring, but in the US that's a sign of a problem with the neutral side of the outlet. Smart (safe) thing to do is to have the wiring checked out by a qualified electrician.
