    Hate Apple chargers in general; this is the worst

    This gets hot while charging, is bulky and won't stay plugged into a wall socket without engineering a support. Have to even be careful as to which slot in my power strip I plug it into because it doesn't engage with them all. It's weird how Apple can create great devices but can't create chargers for them that aren't lame. Kinda have to buy it if you have this computer model though.

    These break all the time. Probably to bring in more money for Apple.

    Yeah, it works. Is it worth the price? No. But what choice does an Apple user have?

    This is my 3rd 85W MagSafe 2 charger in a little over a year. I was hoping the MagSafe 2 would be an improvement over the original MagSafe, but I've actually had worse luck with this one. They always seem to work great for a while and then they just stop. The LED light will stop lighting up; the computer will show it's connected to a charger, but will not actually charge and then eventually it won't even show that it's connected. SMC resets and all other extensive troubleshooting I try never fix the problem. The last one I bought literally lasted for 24 hrs. When they are working well I like them. I like the quick connect/disconnect of the magnetic connection. This current one has been working for over a month, so hopefully it continues on for a while. Maybe one day Apple will come out with a better product for a much more reasonable price...

    In terms of performing its job, this is a good charger. However, the predictable breakdown of the wire near the mag connector is getting old. I have to replace this charger about every 18 months. It's expensive. It should last. It could last if Apple wanted it to.

    Over heats very easily. Can’t use my Mac book when it is plugged in for any amount of time without both over heating. Ended up buying a new laptop and having MacBook as a spare.
