Nope. Very proprietary thing. The power supply is 143W, is a proprietary Apple brick with a fixed cord, and what may be one of those 3-prong power plugs like the old iMac G4's used (although it does not look like it), but the description at 31:50 in the presentation makes it absolutely clear that this is a proprietary Apple thing that is likely patented, expensive, and hard to replace.

I am not happy about this solution.

And I cannot wait for puppies, kittens, rabbits, and parrots to start munching on the low-voltage side of the cord, because you can no longer run over to Walmart and buy a cheap, $5 computer power cord. This thing is likely $100+, color-matched, and because there are 7 of them, will be hard as hell to find short of ordering direct from Apple.

And I suspect Amazon will flow with $30 counterfeits that will either fail to work, or burn your house down.
