Personally i quite like the vibrating feeling! I find myself absendmindedly stroking my macbook whenever it gets ‘the buzz’! ;)

Yay!! More vibrating Macs!! Here in South Africa even the long plug only has live and neutral! Basically, I’m screwed unless I rip the end off the plug and put an earthed one on!! What a ridiculous oversight on such a pricey machine!!
The nightly curse, as soon as my arms get weak and I rest them on the mac, I get a ZAP…

Hi, and first let me thank you for this page. I’ve been wondering all the evening why my brand MBP was vibrating when it was plugged.

In France, some old plugs are not grounded, they have only two prongs. My MBP was plugged to one of them in my room (even with the long cable), that’s why it didn’t vibrate in my office equiped with normal grounded plugs. I have really no skill in technics, so I didn’t get it.

Thanks again for the help!

I’ve notice this too. In USA, I didn’t notice. I’m now in India and the shock is quite severe. I’ve found that if I rest the laptop on my bare legs, the wrist shock goes away. I’ll try the long cord next. I’ve been using the short plug.

I really don’t see why they didn’t bother including a third groundi ng prong on the non-chord plug. Makes little sense to me.
