Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adapter ($79)

  • The new power adapter now has an aluminum connector, which is most notably found of the power adapter of the MacBook Air. If you do not know what the connector is, it is the part of the power adapter that plugs into (makes contact) with the MacBook.

Apple Wireless Keyboard ($69)

  • The keyboard, aesthetically the same, now only requires two AA batteries, where the previous model required three. Whether that is good or bad in terms of battery life is yet to seen. At least you have an extra battery now for the new Magic Mouse.
