Snap-out cord winder on Mac Pro plug

The older power adapters had to hinged flanges on the side opposite the plug that, when flipped up, allowed you to wind the magsafe cord around them. Kind of like a vacuum cleaner cord on upright vacuums.

thanks g_wolfman for your post— got it now.

to the OP — dove4all

ya those tended to prematurely wear out the cords if you used them... I never did, and to be honest I never even noticed. they had been eliminated....

Seems obsolete or a cost cutting measure in manufacture to reduce the overhead.

The new cords seem to be even more fragile. I would not recommend the old way, the tighter you coil a cord up the faster it will wear out/fail... it was cute yes.

That solution no longer works properly when the cord at the adapter body is removable. Because the power-adapter end does not stay anchored, winding up the cord would pull the connector half way out of its socket.

So that may not be a cost reduction, it may be a "this does not work any more."
