I'm curious about Magsafe2. As a student, knowing that 20% of students on campus (those with Apple computers) use the same charger as me, I find it really easy to borrow a cable for 20 minutes to get charged up for class. I'm guessing Magsafe2 isn't compatible with traditional magsafe.

Update: It's not but they sell a $9.99 adapter "The MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter allows you to use the MagSafe connector on your LED Cinema Display, Thunderbolt Display, or MagSafe Power Adapter to charge your MagSafe 2-equipped Mac computer." It looks and I would guess it would be magsafe 1 compatible. Maybe it has extra features or power to it. Pretty much any MB* can be charged on any power adapter albeit slower (or not at all if heavily using it).

  It's thinner than Magsafe1, so no. Time to buy all new power adapters!

    Magsafe is six years old, so I'm willing to cut Apple a break on that one.

  Nope, you need a "Apple MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter"

They're selling an adapter for a very reasonable $10: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD504 http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD504
