These work perfect, I never have any issues with them. My cat(s) seem to love the taste or texture of the rubber on the cords as they love to chew on these bad boys. I've bought 3 for my MacBook and 2 for my wife's. It would be better if I could replace just the damaged cable portion, and not the whole expensive power brick part, but whatever. It always has been the thin cable, which is the cable that is not removable from the brick.

I am hard on my charger. the cords get dragged around and beat up. They last just about two years until the cord starts fraying. You an tape them up but they come undone or i haven't mastered how to do itquite yet.. So I am off to Best Buy to buy another one// Love the Magsafe feature, it has savedme a ton of money on damaged laptops.. I keep two of them. one for in the house and one in my office so I doin't have to move the dord and unplug it..

The Apple branded "wall warts" are excellent.

The Apple branded "wall warts" (even when they aren't !) are always excellent in my experience. I've never had one fail (although I have had other brands not work "out of the box"), and (depending on the model) they come with direct-to-wall connection or a cable that connects to an outlet farther away from the adapter. They usually also have interchangeable plugs for different electrical systems, a boon if you travel internationally.

This product works great and it's faster than my previous one. I think its crazy how expensive it is but I don't see there being another option since Apple does it's own thing.

Great Additional Adapter

This is a great additional adapter for a MacBook Air. It is always great to have a spare adapter in your travel bag so you don't have to think about grabbing it from the desk before you leave the office or home. I picked this one up because it is from Apple and is a brand that can be trusted. I don't have to guess if this will work, because it is from Apple I know it will just work and work well.

This is the FOURTH one of these we've had to get for my husband's computer. It has a bunch of design flaws which guarantee they break between 12-18 months of use. Apple makes nice, underpowered devices that aesthetically pleasing, but vastly overpriced. The only + side is they work together well in their own ecosystem.

First-class replacement for my dead adapter

I needed a new adapter in a hurry after a power flicker took out my old one. I live in the sticks, way too far away from an Apple store, but only about 45 minutes away from the nearest Best Buy. The salesfolk pointed me to an open box that saved me a few bucks, and off I went. This one works perfectly, and now I am considering keeping a spare one on hand to prevent any possible future need for so sudden a drive to the nearest big town...

It works as intended. I got 10 years out of the original. So hopefully my wife will be able to continue on with an older macbook pro for another 10 years? Heh

Shouldn't Have to Replace So Quickly

I've only had my power mac a few years and I had to replace this power cord. This upsets me as it's expensive and from what I have read in other people's reviews, it won't be the last time. I never had to replace my last mac's power cord and that computer lasted me 8 years! The new component must be flawed. After paying top dollar for a new power mac, apple should solve this problem for it's loyal customers. Unfortunately, there are no other safe options... you have to buy it.

Having had problems with my last adapter, I was glad to find this genuine Apple adapter available locally. I needed it right away so bought it at the store, which had just reopened. The store was beautifully clean, organized and well-designed, and the staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. It was a very positive shopping experience.

We had just bought a puppy and he decided that my old charger looked delicious. So I went to Best Buy to buy a new one and I was like "Well what's the difference between this one and this one?" and the man explained that this one would charge my laptop faster than the other one, even though they were the same price. I bought it, went home, charged up my laptop, and it went from dead to fully charged so fast.

Apple laptop charging cable works as good as the original. A little spendy but good quality.
