Thinkpad MagSafe Hack

I've long been of the opinion that Thinkpads are the PowerBooks of the PC world, and if not for the fact that they don't run OS X, I'd be very tempted to co ider one when it came time to buy my next computer. Make points us to an enterprising Thinkpad owner who was having some trouble with a flaky DC-in port on his notebook, and decided to take matters into his own hands when it came to fixing the problem.

I tead of simply replacing the co ector (which is a total pain to do, I know this from personal experience) he decided to one-up every other PC notebook owner out there by co tructing his very own magnetic power co ector. While this may not, in the strictest se e of the term, be "Mac news," it shows once again that the i ovatio A le introduces into its products are not only handy to those of us who actually use Macs, but stimulate the greater computer market to further i ovate and build on the ideas of A le's design team. Check out the i tructable to learn how to make a ThinkSafe adapter of your own.
