If you buy a new MacBook Pro be prepared to ditch all of your duckhead adapters.

If you enjoy using a "Power Adapter Extension Cable" to extend your distance from the wall, then be prepared that you cannot buy one that fits the new prongs as Apple does not sell them.

I just got off the phone with their sales support and they recommended that I go to a hardware store and buy a regular extension cable.
