Why? There are lots of more expensive watches out there.

Mine and the wife's MacBooks have no LEDs on them. My PC, in the study, has one single white LED. You can avoid products with garish LED lights.
*whoosh*
heh, well there are, not sure why Voxination needs to feel poor.
The older MacBooks had a white sleep LED that doubled up as headlights. Was using my 2006 one in bed one night, shut the lid and put it on the floor. The pulsing glow from under the bed was like an effect from Encounters of the Third Kind!
Thats a bit like somebody posting a pic of their brand new Ferrari and saying why, there are lots of more expensive cards out there..........................

why dont you just unplug them or turn them off like normal people
Yep going around the house turning off sockets is the first sign of dementia setting in.
I have literally 2 things plugged into the mains in my bedroom - an alarm clock and a lamp. Plenty stuff with standby LEDs in the lounge and PC in the spare room

One of my ex-housemates really didn't like the LED's lit.
Put electricians tape over them but just enough that if not n bed, can see the very edge of the LED.
From the bed, all dark, from the door for example, can just see if they are on or not.
Best of both worlds?
Cookies and cream flavour. Apparently your meant to eat them chilled, so its like eating cookies and cream ice cream
You know they have that flavour in the UK dont you? Just in case you ordered it in from an overpriced online shop.
I sleep in the same room as all my gear and the LEDs from various devices can get annoying when trying to fall asleep at night.
I started taping them up last week, bought some cheapie electrical tap from Robert dyas to put over them. At first I thought it would be opaque, but turns out it shine through the tape still. I put a few more layers on and it resulted in the perfect opacity whereby you can still see the led if looking for it on a device, but it wasn't bright enough to reflect off the wall or illuminate anywhere.
It was the cheap multi-coloured 4 pack they have.

I miss the old pulsing light. Although perhaps not the too bright ones from older MacBooks.
I should imagine 'normal' people turn a lot of things off. You don't even need to turn a lot of stuff off at the plug!
Yes you do, what charger has an off button, in fact how many things have an off button. A few things have a standby button, this doesn't switch leds off most of the time. On top of that people generally use overnight to charge things.
