Anyway to guarantee you get the new 24W charger?

[PandaSPUR]

I want to get a 24W surface charger for my SP2 since I've heard 24w is still sufficient (will just charge slower) and its smaller/lighter (better for portable use).

But I was wondering, is there any way to know which 24W charger you're really buying? I know MS recently redesigned the 24W charger to have a ring of light at the Surface end of the plug, rather than just a dot.

It really is just a cosmetic thing, but if I'm paying $40 for a new charger, I might as well try to get the one I really want

Microsoft Store's customer service told me theres no way for them to tell, as the old and new chargers appear to still have the same SKU.

Has anyone purchased a 24W charger recently and got the new design?

I purchased an extra 24 watt charger when I ordered the Surface 2 from MS website. I got the older version - which didn't surprise me.

): Not what I was hoping to hear, but not surprising either.
I guess MS probably still has a stockpile of the old ones.. considering how much they overestimated demand with the launch of the first tablets.
