    1. Power cord problem.
    I have problem carrying around the HP DV3t Power supply. It is big, bulky and uses 3 pin configuration(i don't know what that is called) instead of 2.
    Here are two pictures to show you what Im trying to say.

    I prefer the 2nd one, because some power outlet doesn't have all 3 holes. Just two. It is becoming really annoying, since somehow I always end up in places with just two holes!!!!!!!! AHHHH. Is there any smaller, better alternative power cord instead of the standard HP power cord? (I tried ebay, but I was afraid that generic might be troublesome)

    ur better off with the three prong plug just because the third prong is a ground, basically to protect your laptop from a power surge. u wouldnt wanna lose ur laptop because of a simple prong standing in the way.
