Can someone here explain why Apple seems to be the only company that builds small stuff with an integrated power supply?
What's the point in making something small, when you need a huge power brick to power it?
It's a shame that Apple's stuff is outdated, but it's just so much nicer when you look at the details.
- Viper007Bond 10y agoBy having an external power brick, you keep a ton of heat out of the device. That means a smaller device and less cooling needed.
- jakobegger 10y agoThat's obvious, but if that was such a major obstacle, how does Apple manage to do it? The Mac Mini, the Apple TV, all the Airport routers -- they all have a built in power supply and use a standard figure-eight power cable. This is not rocket science. Why does no other company manage to do that?
