    So I got my first MacBook pro today but I have a little hardware questions. Other form the Magsafe adapter, there is another power coord that looks like a desktop one. What is it for actually? Looks like some iMac power cord to me and there is absolutely no plug on it on the laptop..

    Its the only way to actually plug in with a ground plug... I never use the 2 prong flip connector on mine.
