Better Macbook Air Power Solution???
Is anyone aware of a more compact power solution for a Macbook Air 13"?
If possible, Id like to ditch the big Apple power brick AND the Apple airline adapter for something a bit more compact. The Innergie adapters look awesome, quite compact and powerful, yet they dont have a magsafe adapter just like the other universal power adapter vendors....
Anyone got any creative ways to ditch the Macbook Air brick?

I don't consider the MBA power adapter to be large. I find it much easier to carry around in my laptop bag than my Thinkpad power adapter. I hate the premium you have to pay for proprietary Apple accessories though. I bought a second Magsafe power adapter and it cost me $60

Does this sound convenient?
Plus, that stuff looks like a total ripoff of ScotteVest products.

I've used a custom adapter from http://mikegyver.com and it has worked out great. I use it with one of those kensington travel power supplies.
