The 85 W MagSafe dedicated to MacBook Pro was known for its rather unusual large size. Yesterday, Apple started offering a new model, significantly smaller (similar size than for MacBook) while delivering the same power:
It will not appear immediately, as the expected shipping date currently indicated on the Apple Store is 3 to 4 weeks. When available in volume, it will become the default power adapter for MacBook Pro.
As a consequence, the previous power adapter model is not available from the European Apple Stores, and one will have to wait for weeks before being able to get one.
This announcement comes strangely couple of days after we reported MagSafe 1G being prone to be damaged and caught into fire.
