This is awesome!

 

I hope they will make a 180W model , even if it to loose "just" the half of my "make a house" brick, i would be the first buyer even for 200$ !

 

I'd buy some of these. I appreciate that they were able to cram in a 2.1A USB charging port too. I would buy:

40W = 11.6" Acer Aspire V5-122P-0600
65W = 14.0" HP ProBook 6475b, 14.0" Dell Latitude E6410
90W = 13.3" Apple MacBook 7,1 A1342, 14.0" Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E425

Should I be worried that its only a two-prong connector, unlike some other three-pronged grounded AC adapters?

 

Personally, I like ungrounded power supplies because the mains cable is thinner and lighter and it is rare to have any undesirable side effects. The potential risk is when there is a very noisy power supply or neutral is floating at well above the ground voltage. However, places where such problems occur are also those where the grounding may be deficient.

Anyway, this is a very interesting adapter which must also be very efficient. One factor in the sizing of normal notebook power supplies is making them big enough that they dissipate the heat without getting excessively hot. That's also why they are usually black.

The FAQs page says production is starting in mid-2014.

I find that adapter very very interesting, I just wish that they made a higher wattage one. but they chose the broadest market possible thats for sure.
