They rate the HP charger as better than the apple. Go to Amazon and look at item B0055QYJJM.

It sure looks like the same barrel-shaped AC-USB adapter from HP, plus a standard USB cable included (apple offering only the adapter for $10).

One of the chargers to tie with the official Apple unit was the Monoprice brand... available on Amazon SOLD BY MONOPRICE FOR $8.81 (B005KBM4KI) with free shipping.
