This $20 accessory is a must for anyone with an Apple laptop
Ten One Design
Ten One Design's Blockhead side-facing plug is the best $20 accessory you can buy for your Apple laptop.
The side-facing plug saves a lot of space, and it works with every MacBook and iPad charger model.
When you think about the best Apple accessories, you're probably not thinking about chargers.
But this particular charger — from a Montclair, New Jersey accessory maker called Ten One Design — is as simple as it is clever, and absolutely worth your money.
Take a look.
MacBook computers come with big blocky chargers that stick directly out of the socket when you plug them in.

Apple also gives you a cord to extend the length of the charger, but it still sticks out a lot.

With this adapter from Ten One, though, your MacBook charger will sit flush with the wall or port it’s charging from.

This is a huge space saver: Now you can attach your MacBook charger to the wall behind your couch, for instance.

You can also use it comfortably with airplane charging ports, as venture capitalist Hunter Walk demonstrates.

The Blockhead adapter works for every MacBook charger, as well as 10-watt, 12-watt, and 29-watt iPad chargers.

The Blockhead adapter is only $20, or two for $34, on Amazon and Ten One Design's website. It's a small investment, but it can save you a lot of space (and annoyance).
