Apple - MagSafe 60W Power Adapter for MacBook® and 13" MacBook® Pro - White

When replacing your magneticic plug type charger due to a bad cord or some type of failure, be sure to read the output wattage they are different but look the same.

With all the great innovations Apple has achieved in the high tech expensive electronics realm, this is perhaps the worst of them all...The MacBook Air MagSafe chargers are made in such a way that if you fold your charger frequently which most travelers do when on the go, the area closest to the main body of the charger is prone to damage. This is my 3rd charger in 2 years and I'm sure this will also suffer the same fate soon enough. Apple needs to find a way to design the cord end that blends with the body of the charger to make it more durable and less likely to damage.

My laptop charges very well with the cord that was recommended.

Brand new, Good quality. Service rep is very professional.

They do what they're supposed to, however, they are not made of quality. The cord wears out and starts to split apart at about a year into use - the actual plastic stuff holding the wires together begins to peel off. I would highly recommend buying an alternative, if one existed. But for now, just try not to bend the cord too much so it might last longer. These definitely are not worth even $50. They, like many of Apple's accessories, do not meet Apple's high-quality standards. But it's your only option when it comes to macbook pro power cords. As you can see, I had to tape my previous one up after about 8 months of use. Just use electrical and packaging tape if you can't afford the $80.

After reading positive reviews about the open box options available at Best Buy, I decided to take my chances and order that. At $18 off the original price I thought it would be a good deal, but I was wrong. The charger I received was said to have no missing parts and be in excellent condition. In fact, the charger I received had only one of the two outlet plugs pictured (the long one with the cord; the short outlet plug was not included). Additionally, the cord from the charging box to the computer was noticeably dirty, and the cord covering at the point where the adapter connects to the computer was separated, making the wires visible. Obviously, the charger was NOT in excellent condition nor did it have all of the advertised parts. The charger didn't even actually work on my laptop, so I am obviously VERY disappointed and will be returning.

I have no complaints with how the charger functions. It does its job just fine, and I like the magnetic attachment which can save your laptop if you trip on the cord. My only complaint is it's not the best charger for repeatedly wrapping up and traveling with. After a while, the cord connect to the brick will wear itself, expose the wires and eventually stop working. If you don't plan on wrapping it up much then it's 5 stars. For those who travel a lot with their laptop - 4 stars.

I wish Apple would make better quality chargers at a more affordable price. I held out on buying for a long time, but my former adapter was on its last bit of life. The cord first was frayed for a couple inches, which I bound with electrical tape. But then it kept fraying beyond the bounds more and more. Eventually, I decided to buy this one through Best Buy because I had gift cards. Now, I am very careful with my chargers and use the extender as well.
