I’m one of those people who always needs to have my MacBook Pro laptop charged. For plane trips and car trips. At home and on the go. But it gets confusing navigating your regular charger, apple airplane chargers and car chargers — and expensive. I’m techy, but not that techy. So, I had to get creative and figure out what I really needed. Then I found this: The Universal All-in-one Macbook Magsafe AC / DC car /airline adapter with USB port on Mikegyver.com. (Read More after the jump)
From Mikegvyer’s site: There are virtually legal no solutions on the market that will allow you to both power and CHARGE ANY Macbook Air, Macbook, or Macbook pro laptops from any Power source such as Cars, boats, Airlines, and home/office. Inverters do not offer a good solution because it is wasteful, inefficient, dangerous,and require one extra clumsy item to carry around.
Solution: A perfect replacement or upgrade to your Apple adapter. The All-in-one AC/DC Car / Airline (Empower plug included) adapter is a direct power solution with Magsafe cable. You can charge your Macbook / Macbook Pro / Macbook Air on the Airplane, Car, Truck, Boat and house! NO more wasted energy using inverters!
Because it’s a MagSafe Adapter, you’ll continue to enjoy MagSafe convenience just as you’re already enjoying at home or work. The magnetic DC plug both ensures a tight connection and enables a clean break from the power port if there is undue tension — preventing your MacBook from being pulled off of your tray table if someone accidentally yanks the cord. -Apple Computer

You can send in your magsafe apple adapter and Mike will take $80 off the price or for full price, he will include one.
I chose to have Mike include one and the total cost was around $180. Figure in that I always go through Magsafe cables (I’m on cable #3 at home and my laptop is 14 months old) – so this one is already saving me $80, and that apple’s Apple Magsafe Airline Power Adapter MA598Z/A
Have a universal adapter already? You can just buy the adapted magsafe cable or have Mikegyver adjust yours – go here to figure out what you need.
I found Mike very easy to deal with and I’m happy to say I’m on my second trip now and I’m fully powered (I’m writing this from my seat on the plane). I had actually left my regular cable at home, so I can just used this. If I want to use it on the airline’s power cord, I just pull the regular cord out and add the airline/car adapter.
