But you have a “charger” on a device without a battery.
Power bricks are the most inelegant solution to a problem ever. Can’t think of a clever design to accommodate the features we want? shove it on a box and put it to the side. Lazy.
- PascLeRasc 5y agoI mean it does help with heat and electrical noise isolation, plus if a manufacturer cared to they could probably add more heat fins on an external brick not constrained by the case.
- insert_coin 5y agoFunny the current iMac has none of those problems. And wasn’t the M1 supposed to be so efficient minimal cooling and power were required?
- PascLeRasc 5y agoApple's site says the power adapter is 143W, that's gonna be pretty toasty. The 4.5k display is probably the majority of that though.
- insert_coin 5y agoAgain, current iMacs don't seem bother by that.
- culopatin 5y agoMaybe they can simplify the board if they are not dealing with lots of a electrical noise on top of everything.
- ksec 5y agoYes. Or I wish the Charger is small enough they are like the MacBook Pro where it plugs directly to the wall. And not something that is now hanging / sitting in between of my Cable to the wall.
- tehnub 5y agoI prefer the plug to not be on the charger itself. When you plug it into a power strip, it always blocks one or two other outlets.
