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

I purchased this power adapter after my other cord became damaged. I like the magnetic connection to my computer, but its best to connect it to the computer so the cord faces away otherwise it blocks the usb ports. I also like that the cord can be wrapped around the power adapter for storage and that the plug pulls off and you can connect both cords together to make the cord longer. The power adapter is available in three different wattages so be sure to get the right one for your computer. The cord is good quality, but I wish I didn't have to buy both cords when I only needed one.

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.

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.

It's sad. I really enjoy my Apple products. Their attention to detail and their user friendly designs are the best of the best. However, for some reason and for many years, they continue to pass right over the MageSafe power adapter design when rethinking their products. Yes, they changed the magnetic connector. Which, I presume was done to make it sit more flush to the body of the notebook. However, they keep looking right past the absolute worst part of the design. Where the power cord runs into the converter block. This flimsy design results in worn and faulty wires after about a year of use. So, every year I have to go back to the store and purchase a new one at $80 a pop. I gave this rating a 2nd star only for the fact that I love being able to add the power cord extension on with a quick snap.

Bought this because the one that came with my MacBook Pro from 2013 finally frayed enough that it stopped working. So other than predicting that this one will also become useless after another 7 years, I guess this thing lasts pretty long! The other thing is that only the part of the cable that attaches to the computer was frayed, so I was able to keep using the other one with a new charger. Finally, I just hate how expensive these propriety products are.
