Original Dell Replacement Precision Compatible
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
Dell makes chargers that are very small (or at least thin) but are very though. The Apple charger is small but quite bulky (especially with a UK plug) I got both an MBP 15 and a Dell XPS 15 and the Dell charger fits better in every bag i have. It's has the overall footprint of a ~5-5.5" phone/phablet and is about half as thick as the Apple charger. http://www.amazon.com/Original-Dell-Replacement-Precision-Co...
I actually find the Apple charger a bit annoying, it doesn't fit flat in any of the smaller / side pockets of my briefcases or messenger bags, and overall the Dell charger isn't "ugly" if you would gave it the apple "storm trooper white" finish and an apple logo it would not look out of place in Apple's catalog.
The other thing I kinda hate about Apple is the fact that it won't take a standard mickey mouse cable, if you forget the cable / socket plug you are pretty much screwed if you are at a non-startup company :<
