Re: Pictures please
That puzzled me, is it the size of a giant kitkat, or do they think that a standard 4 stick kit kat is big enough to be considered a giant size for a power supply?
If, as the great hype machine tries to tell us, the great and mighty USB-C port is now a universal charger, then why aren't we seeing a 3rd-party market on alternative adapters? I've thought the laptop/printer/router/etc makers should have pooled resources a LONG time ago and devised a standard set of voltage/amperage adapters (a range of combinations to allow for differing needs). Regardless of the outrageous prices they charge for replacement adapters, they aren't a profit center, so why not make them standardized, and be able to but off-the-shelf components?
Of course, if USB-C becomes standard, perhaps we'll start seeing charging ports built into wall plates (we're already seeing lower-power USB ports being added to wall sockets now).
