    I lost my charger so I thought instead of ordering a cheap one through Ebay I got an original I phone charger. Well it helped to charge but any outlet or USB I attach it to says " charging is not supported with this accessory" I would of liked for this product not to have a faulty message on my phone but oh well. So i guess i should of payed less money at Ebay for a cheep one and still had the same result.

    The Apple 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter is a reliable and essential accessory for anyone with a compatible MacBook Air. The magnetic DC connector ensures a quick and secure connection while also preventing strain on the power cord. The sleek white design is classic and matches well with Apple products. However, the price point is a bit high compared to third-party options, but the quality and compatibility make it worth the investment. Overall, a solid choice for keeping your MacBook charged and ready to go.

    I got the Apple - 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter with Magnetic DC Connector - White for my Daughter to replace the one that she lost. Just another Charger Apple Adapter plug or wire in a long list of lost ones. Works just like the original. The only issue here is the money out of pocket.

    I replaced the power cord for my daughter's MacBook Air and was shocked that it cost $80. Apple needs to find a way to either better manufactured the cord so it doesn't fray or sell a component part that is much less costly than buying the entire power cord.

    Got what I wanted. Charges the Macbook Air without problem. Didn't expect much else. The packaging was nice, much like all other Apple products. It was overpriced, much like all other Apple products. Remember, MacBook Pro's need the 85W charger, and MacBook Air's require the 45W charger.

    Not really much to say here, the charger functions exactly as it should. Extra long so I can use my laptop wherever I like without feeling like i'm choking it. Wish they were a bit more affordable but, what can you do. They say you shouldnt buy 3rd party charges for macbooks so I naturally bought Apple's legitimate offical charger and everything is ok.

    When it comes to reviewing Apple Products, what can you say about them, but they work exactly as advertised. They are pricey, but...you do get what you pay for. The best part of buying at Best Buy...they're closer than a dedicated Apple Store and just as knowledgable.

    I bought this because my laptop would no longer charge. My thinking was that my charger was broken. The new charger fixed the issue, but after my old charger sat unplugged for a few days I thought I'd try it one last time, and suddenly my original charger worked again. I had no use for 2 chargers, especially at almost $100 a pop, so I returned my purchase. After reading on some Apple forums, this is a seemingly well known thing. leaving a charger unplugged for a few days can help reset whatever is wrong with them SOMETIMES. In my case it worked and I saved myself some cash.

    Get it open box instead!

    I got this for nearly half price off to work with an open box Macbook Air MD711LL/A because the brick didn't come with it. Straight out of box, it works as it should. Comes with a brick section with the magsafe adapter end. It also has a 3 feet cable that plugs from a 3-prong wall adapter to the brick. But I had an extra 2-prong piece from an iPad to use instead of carrying around the 3 feet 3-prong cable. The brick has side hinges that can flip out and hold the small wiring to keep it compact. This works out really well with the 2-prong piece connector. But there is absolutely no way to wrap the 3-feet 3-prong cable along with it. It must be rolled up individually by itself. The magsafe design is awesome in itself. A person can trip the cable and yank it out from the laptop without damaging the port or anything much. Can't say that for many other vendors; especially those that uses L-shaped plugs into the laptop. In addition, the apple tax does not constitute this item to be worth $80. Other adapters are a fraction of this cost. This item is nothing other than a brick that provides power to the actual items that does the muscle work and functions. There's absolutely no reason this should hold a premium cost to it. No magic involved with this piece. Recommended to get it open box. Every so often, it can be had for nearly half price off instead of a measly 10%.
