    This power adapter is sturdier than the original I got with my computer. The original wiring frayed but I don't think this one will. Very happy with it!

    I was able to get a used charger so I did not have to pay as much for it. It worked as new and I had no issues. I was very thankful to find this because these chargers are generally outrageously priced.

    My old 7 year old MacBook charger broke, so I had to buy a replacement. Hopefully this will last longer than 7 years! Otherwise, the charger works and plugs in perfectly.

    You should buy this item, not the knock-offs, because it is safer (it does not get hot so fast).

    I purchased this item after lightening fried my power cord for my computer. I was early of getting the 85W when my computer came with a 60W. Best Buy employee said it will work and won't harm the computer. Works great!

    Needed to buy after forgetting the charger at home. Typical Apple original equipment. Works exactly as expected. Only negative is that it is expensive; like all Apple products. But, you can't argue with the quality.

    Not really sure what to say here. It's an Apple cord for an Apple laptop. It works. Actually, my best advice is to make sure you have both halves of the cord before you drive 600 miles and try to plug it in.

    After five years of use and abuse the original charging cord finally gave up. I hope this original replacement is just as good as the one that shipped with the Mac.

    This was a replacement chord for my macbook pro. I had tried several other generic brands and they all burned out. This one has been great, the length is good, and it charges great!

    I have a dog who loves to lay at my feet and every so often, he pulls on the cord when I am working on my iPad. Nice to have replacements that I can get right away. This newest one has been pulled out, more than a few times and is holding up much better than the older version.

    My 2009 MacBook stopped charging, and the problem turned out to be the charger. Specifically, the interface with the magnetic connector failed. The computer is fine, now that I have a new charger. I would give this five stars, if the new connector inspired confidence, but it does not. I hope Apple's change to the design proves me wrong.

    I bought other replacment chargers from local stores. They did not last long, and they get very hot when charging. Although official products are more pricey, but I have much more confidence in them.

    I unfortunately ruined my power source for my Macbook, so I needed it replaced as soon as possible. The staff at BB was helpful and were able to find me the proper cord with my type of computer and it was in stock!

    This is a very good charger. It charges my MacBook Air much faster than the lod one. I'd recommend to anyone with an older MacBook Air.

    Purchased this charger to replace the one that came with my 13" MacBook Pro w/Retina display. I could not find the 60w charger but read reviews that the 85w is compatible. No issues charging my MacBook so far.

    Good product overall. However- After a couple years the wire breaks down right where it meets up with the white boxy part. Even if you wrap the cord in the recommended manner.

    My old MacBook adapter cord failed. I purchased this one to replace it. Original manufacturer model. Works great. Expect to get many years out of this adapter.
