Save $ 40 on the purchase of a set of plugs for the power supply MacBook Pro
This story began with the fact that two days before his arrival, the relatives of his wife reported that they would drop by for a short while to visit us and not to bring something to us. I have to add that they live in the states and as it turned out they have the Apple Store around the corner.
So slowly, the thought of acquiring a new MacBook Pro 15 "with an intel i5 processor began to mature.
Since there were only two days to make a decision and to find money - the thought that in the USA and in our stables - various electrical plugs crept into my brain when the computer was already in flight. My fears that the power supply will be strictly at 110 volts - did not come true - because Apple decided in this matter that the power supplies should work anywhere in the world, but they will sell forks for $ 40 for a set of various forks of any standards only happen.
To pay 40 evergreen for a set of plugs, to be honest, the toad was overwhelming me, and the computer was already on the road and getting this set along with the device itself was not possible.
Therefore, a small adapter was purchased from the American plug to the European one, he exactly two “stuck” in the socket, and then crumbled into the trash.

By the time I was looking at the package with the power supply, it had two plugs, one small, which turns inside the case.
And another removable corner with a cord about a meter in length at the end of which was the American version of the plug with grounding.
This connects the ground on the power supply itself.
Without further ado, I purchased a collapsible electric plug, which costs a penny and looks quite nice and not “collective-farm”
After that, the American version without regret was otkushen and instead was attached to the standard option for our edges.
Several photos (taken due to the lack of a camera webcam).
Final version.
