Now confirmed: Apple is killing the yo-yo power adapter in favor of the new “Extra Portable” power adapter, available for US$70 starting next month. The adapter will work with all 2001-year iBook and PowerBook G4 models, both the revision announced yesterday and the original models introduced earlier this year.
The adapter is already available from the web-based Apple Store. Latest description from Apple: “The 45 watt AC adapter for the PowerBook and iBook features dual voltage (100-240 volts) capability, a two prong connector, and a small, light, roll-up power cord.” A welcome change, and hopefully a worthy buy for those looking to pick up a new adapter.
