    Adapter works perfectly. I had previously gotten a knockoff brand that didn't last long. This was exactly what I needed.

    I just needed a replacement cable for my computer since I seem to have misplaced mine. I was able to pick it up at the store quickly and for less than it would have cost from the Apple Store. Got back to work right away.

    My daughter's power adapter died. Normally I would try to fix it but in the middle of a pandemic, I didn't have the patience. This replacement worked fine and saved much aggravation.

    This is my third charger since I have bought my MacBook Pro in 2012. It does work effectively, but will get extremely hot if used on more than one computer. These are easy to fry, and the cables are pretty easily worn out.

    Unfortunately, power bricks seem to be consumables. This is helping me extend the life of my 8 year old MacBook Pro. That's a good thing.

    This is a replacement for my MacBook Pro charger - NB there were 2 versions of this charger, the one with the lower W rating is for the MacBook air. This is not clear on the packaging - a store associate helped me work this out.

    Apple products always get the job done. However, the price of this charger as compared to other brands is a little excessive. The original charger lasted 2 years so hopefully the more powerful has a longer life.

    Standard Apple Adapter

    Nothing special here ... you're not going to get it any cheaper online or at an Apple Store ... Having extra power adapters at your other office/work locations beats having to hump this thing around. The convenience is worth the extra cost.
