New Macbook pro 2020 Electric, tingling, vibration, power adapter, grounding
I recently bought a Macbook pro 13in for my 15yrs old daughter. She quickly noticed a vibration on the laptop case only when it was plugged to the power outlet. I confirmed immediately and tried unplugging and the vibration disappeared. That led me to think it was an electric leakage on the metal case... I then read the articles on this issue and was quite surprised that this is a very old and known issue in Macbooks for years!!!
So after research and taking the laptop back to the genius bar for a check, it turns out the only way to solve this potentially deadly problem (check the post by ex-forensic firefighter) is to buy an extra super expensive power adapter!
My question is why this power adapter is not provided with the laptop?? It's only adding a little piece of metal to serve as grounding!
I cannot describe my disappointment honestly as i considered so far Apple as the Ferrari of the electronics... for the price I paid, I expected a flawless experience!
