Does anyone know where you can find a c7 to 1-15p adapter for my laptop charger that doesn't have any cord in between the two? I just want my power block to plug straight into the wall outlet.

I am not aware of any. Laptops draw too much power, thus need a decent sized conversion box (power block) and that is too heavy to hang off of an outlet (the outlet is rated to hold only so much weight, after that a device must have the means to support itself). Letting a block dangle from an outlet can bend the contacts, causing arcing that can lead to high resistance meltdowns.

Thanks for the reply, but it must be possible, all of the Apple laptops have power supplies like that. This is an ultraportable I am trying to do it with (Sony TZ195N), so it has a light power brick.

All those years working with laptop, I never saw one like that on a PC.
How about get a very short power cord?
