The Apple Watch doesn’t come with a power adapter anymore
Dart Lightweight Adapter Replaces Your Brick
Laptops continue to get thinner and lighter, making that power brick that you have to tote along seem to get bigger. Finsix says the have a solution for this with the lightweight Dart power adapter.
The Dart is four times smaller and six times lighter than most of the 65W power adapters that laptops commonly use today, and isn’t a matte black square. The’ve designed to so you can order with the correct power adapter for your specific laptop and it fits the “holes” in the wall in just about anywhere in the world. They say that they’ve even managed to find a way to keep the adapter relatively cool while charging your laptop.
Finsix has been running a Kickstarter campaign that has been fully funded and they are expecting to deliver in November of 2014 with colors of Blue, Magenta, Silver, Gunmetal, and Orange. Pricing looks like it will be in the $110 range for an adapter, and a little more if you want one that works with your MacBook.
Will Surface tablets use Microsoft’s new MagSafe-like power and data connector?
Microsoft has borrowed a couple of Apple-flavored notions for the launch of its new Surface tablets. For a start, it's avoided mentioning certain tech specs -- like the amount of RAM -- and now one of our readers has noticed something else: the strange-looking power port on the new devices looks very much like the magnetic, MagSafe-style connector Microsoft sent to the US Patent Office last week. We could be wrong, but the two do seem nearly identical, in which case Surface owners -- just like new Apple buyers -- may also have to put up with the clutter of more proprietary cables.

Apple quietly introduced a newer, slimmer, snazzier MagSafe connector here at WWDC, with the Retina display-equipped 15-inch MacBook Pro (yeah, the "next-generation" one) and the newly-unveiled MacBook Air machines utilizing it. Still, the original MagSafe is finding its way onto the refreshed MacBook Pro (both 13- and 15-inch), but we're guessing the original isn't long for this world. As with anything, change ain't easy -- for the two to talk to one another, you'll need an optional $10 adapter (which evidently ships gratis with the 27-inch Thunderbolt Display). It's also worth noting that the actual AC power plug returned to the "T-style" form factor, rather than the "side-style" seen in the MacBook units that were new... well, yesterday. We stacked a next-gen MBP atop a last-gen MBP just to showcase the differences; hit the gallery below if you're interested in such things.
