this is not a lot different from the usual laptop setup except apple put a twist at the block end on it.

However, there's a longer power cord that can plug into the power brick and act as an extension cord. The part of the power brick that has a flip-down plug can be pulled off, and you can plug in one end of the long power cord into it. That cord is thicker, and more durable, and it also gives you a longer range from outlet to your laptop. The switch-out plug ends on the power brick are an interesting design. Apple sells a travel adapter kit with "plugs" for the end of the power brick that can match the outlets for different countries. So if you have a plug adapter for the U.S., you can switch it out for an adapter that works for the UK. Similarly, you could use a long power cord with a plug for a different country with your power brick. Hope this makes sense.
