Nope, won't work. The end connectors are different, and as I recall so is the output. Hope this helps

Bzzzzt.

They can be used. Just know that the yo-yo gives out less voltage, so it's possible that it won't charge the battery very quickly while it is in use.

I've got both, the plug for the powerbook are of different sizes. You would have to change the ends or find an adapter to use it.

There are yoyo adapters with the small plug, too!

However, they are 45W adapters (the voltage is the same!), and the AlBooks require a 65W adapter to be able to use and charge the computer at the same time.

You need an adapter like the Madsonline Gereration Gap.
