Why do laptop power supplies, the ones with black rectangular things in

And, I believe, when there's nothing more dangerous than a lamp

light bulbs ger really hot!


I have a Toshiba Netbook with a small "black rectangular thing" that
is only 2-prong.

The Mac Mini has a large white thing that is 2 prong.

Same here with a Dell notebook, it has a two prong power supply.
