    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.

    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.

    I've been looking for a replacement charger for my mac book for the longest time; this one is the only one that fits. Needless to say how happy I am to finally have the perfect charger for it. I had great help finding at the store, because I had tried many others that were too small. Thanks.

    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.

    Functional practical replacement for my old one that died on me. It would have been much more practical and cheaper if I could buy only the wall plug part of this piece which is actually exchangeable. Buying the whole piece was an expensive event.

    I accidentally left my original power cord at the hotel I was staying in during a recent business trip, forcing me to purchase a new one. Aside from the high cost, I have yet to have had any problems with it. The last Macbook Pro I owned, lasted for 7 years & never gave me a problem with the power supply. I don't expect to have any problems with this one, unless I forget to pack it like I did the last one.

    what can I say? this charger is excellent. After suffering for a few years with a frayed charger from my 2 cats.. it finally stopped working. I went to best buy and got a replacement and I can say it was totally worth it. They are less interested in this one and have moved on to other interests so the charger is mint. Same charger you would get at an apple store and it feels solid.

    I had to get this because my kid accidentally dunked the mag end in his cup of water while it was still plugged in. Everyone was safe but the power supply fried. Thing does exactly what it is supposed to do however, I do feel like my Mac does not hold a charge as long as it did when charging with the original. Probably just me, but still solid performance and what you would expect from this product.

    After 9 years of traveling use, my original cord was toast. However, to withstand the use and abuse it took, that’s impressive. As for this replacement, I already know it will last just as long. I’ll be getting the new M1 Mac since it’s release... So whoever I pass this down to will be set for a while.
