I travel a lot and got tired of putting the whole charger in and out of my laptop bag, plugging and unplugging from my office to home. Unlike windows laptops, the charger for Apple laptops is big and bulky when you use the entire set of cords. The charger weighs almost as much as my MacBook air. On the plus side Apple chargers have long cords that are adaptable to making shorter. You can unplug the heavier cord by pulling it out of the brick and then attaching a plug adapter to the brick in its place. Having a really nice long version makes it easier to charge while in a meeting because the cord reaches to an outlet. This one came with an adapter so you can leave the longer & clunkier cord at home (or in the car) and just plug in the brick. It charges fast & has little wings to wind the cord to the brick neatly, making it convenient for a laptop case. Was thinking about giving it 4 stars (or 4 1/2) because I can't understand why Apple, with its beautifully designed and light laptops, can't seem to figure out a way to ditch the brick. But, that's not the charger's fault. It works as promised.

Works fine though it is wearisome how Apple keeps changing the adapter plugs from generation to generation. The magsafe connection does feel more solid, I guess, but the fact that it only fits laptops of the most recent generation makes it less useful.

I would definitely buy this again it’s brand new it comes in the box it has a long cord so it stretches out and has this thing on it to hold the cord so it doesn’t drag across the ground or anything very useful.

Excellent product. Using it right now! Walked into Best Buy and immediately was asked what I was looking for. They took me straight to it. Asked a few questions to make sure it was the right adapter. Great service and great product.

I left town without my power cord! Best Buy had the right cord for the right price - an Apple - 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter with Magnetic DC Connector. My MacBook was charged up and I was quickly back in business!
