I've just upgraded to a 13" MacBook. Very pleased with it although it seems to run noticeably hotter.

For my old IBook I purchuased a 12v car adaptor for about £15. I made a working assumption that there would be a similar solution fpr the MacBook but did not check before buying the MacBook.

Bad move.

Seems Apple have patented the "MagSafe" connection and not licensed it to anyone hence no 12 v power supply other than this one at US$169 plus shipping.

Is there any other 12v solution?
