    I had been using a charger on its last leg with an older model Apple Laptop. I’m very skittish when it comes to technology and the process at Best Buy was made so easy by the employees there. They knew exactly what I needed for my older model and it works great. Couldn’t be happier.

    The cable charges the laptop quickly. The Magnetic DC Connector, which is the end that plugs into the laptop, is too easily dislodged. Meant to protect the laptop from being knocked to the ground if someone trips over the cord, the downside of the design is that the cord slips too easily from the laptop, sometimes unnoticed. The magnetic connection often is interrupted when I move the laptop.

    This charger is everything one would expect from an apple product. Quality, reliable, but unfortunately overpriced at $80. The nice thing about the 85W version is comparability with all size MagSafe 2 MacBooks.

    Buy the authentic chargers from BestBuy, Apple, or any brick and mortar store. I’ve sampled many pure online retailers just to see what they’ll send and most of the time, it’s some knockoff that doesn’t perform (overheats) or doesn’t send the right charge information to the laptop. After five or so trials throughout the years, safest bet is to get it directly from an authorized brick and mortar retailer. That said, per apples mantra, cable is very flimsy and although mine did last about 6 year and is still going, it was used under very low stress conditions.

    Our cat loves to pull the cable out of its magsafe connection, and after that happened a couple times it no longer functioned. Prior to that after about two years of usage and storing in a backpack the connector eventually no longer worked, probably from pulling out of the backpack and the cord getting snagged etc. Since purchasing this new unit Ive kept it away from cats and store only in its own zippered pouch on the backpack and it is holding up.

    So lucky I found this. I stopped by the Apple Store for help to make sure I was buying the exact same charger. They were great and helped give me the exact model number. Unfortunately they were out of stock but Best Buy came through and had a few in stock locally. Works great.

    This adapter is the identical charger provided in the package that came with your mac pro laptop. the 85 watts of power provide a fast charge. The mage safe connector keeps your laptop safe from forgetting to unplug it or from accidental trips. This adapter works with the 13 and 15 inch MacBook Pro with the Retina display. Earlier models use a different charger.

    Nice but built-in flaw

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this to replace the power adapter I had. Over the three years the part of the wire nearest the adapter wore out due to constant bending. The outer insulation broke revealing the internal wires. Eventually those broke also. This was a bit of a hazard. The design issue is that if one winds the cord around the built-in retractable cord "holders", that part of the wire ends up bent almost 90 degrees. The solution is that one has to leave a fairly large loop in place prior to winding around the "holders". This loop allows the wire to come out of the adapter in a straight line and then slowly curve until one can wind the rest of the wire around the holders. So just a bit of thought, time and caution; however, a better design would be nice.

    This replaced a cheaper charger I bought of Amazon that ended up turning brown from the how hot it was getting. I cut the cord on that one and bought the real apple charger and it's been working great.

    Had to get a new adaptor when my dog ate my fiancées power cord. Went to Apple first but hey we're no help. Second stop, BestBuy! Walked up and found what I needed however it got better. The box I grabbed was not only what I needed, but was a previously opened box and was marked down by some. This was the best news ever. I never have been this lucky here before so that was a plus. I'm always a in the market for discounts or coupons and this was right up my alley. Much appreciated.

    After 4 yrs of the original cord I had to break down and purchase a new one. I hate that Apple is pricey on their accessories. Had to do it though and works just fine.
