    i was surfing and i saw at www.shinza.com an apple powerbook/ibook mini AC adapter. it looks cool and compact! would there be such a thing for my S5N? this would be awesome to be able to pack lighter and less bulge etc

    how much smaller do you want the ac adapter to be? i've got the s5ne and the adapter is tiny, 1.75" x 5". it would be nice if they made the adapter white though to match my laptop, otherwise its already compact.

    oh mine's the normal one (3.5" x 1.5") but the wires are so long and messy. the adapter itself is fine, but how about the one that connects to the adapter? the thicker cable with the prong that connects to the outlet itself? the cable's so thick and long and messy... that's the only thing hehe

    is it only (3.5 x 1.5)? i estimated wrong then. :) but yeah, the darn wires are really long, i went out and bought some velcro strips and they work pretty nice, a lot better than having nothin or using the wired twisty. most laptop adapter are pretty bad, unlike the powerbooks and ibooks, they've got adapters that can coil around the adapter for easy storage....very similar to the shinza one. but hey, if you ever find one out there, let us know, i wouldn't mind picking one up myself.
