Can't beat the "original"

We got tired of always crawling under the desk to unplug the charger when we were traveling, so we bought a second one to keep in the travel laptop case. As with all things Apple, it's not the cheapest option, but it works great.

It works great, just like the original charger. I had to replace the original as someone permanently borrowed it. My 13-year-old MacBook still rocks!

Works as it should. I do think it’s overpriced though. It’s a requirement to use the product, if you need a replacement or another one, I don’t see why it should cost this much.

This charger works great, I believe we got a discount from someone that bought the wrong charger and returned it.

I love these MagSafe power cords, but they are very expensive. They tend to pull out from a Mac very easily, but I use a product called the Snuglet and it makes the connection just a little tighter to reduce accidental disconnection. Also, it's well documented that cord is susceptible to fraying over time.

My previous charger broke so I had to buy a new one. This one is way bigger but charges my laptop pretty fast. Works great so far!

Solid adapters but cable not replaceable

Had to replace my entire power adapter because the cable got pinched and had a break in the shielding. Unfortunately Apple has the cable hard wired to the adapter so you can't just buty a replacement cable. Otherwise Apple adapter are solid and last long. Never had an adapter fail unless the cable was damaged.

I recently had my original power cord from my Mac Book Pro get severed by the closing of a couch, this product makes it safer for use and it keeps the cords from getting entangled. Little pricey but worth it if it saves the Mac Book!

These charging cords do not have a log lifespan if you move around alot but they are reliable at least for a year or two. I use it for my MacBook Pro which I take to and from work and elsewhere. So the plug is constantly wound up and tucked in my computer bag. Glad this has lasted a couple of years.

As with all of my other Apple products, they are bulletproof, perform like they should, and are a stylist product.
The only down fall is the higher price for Apple products, but the cons outweigh the cost in my option.

Best Buy to the Rescue (Again!)

There's nothing worse than pets chewing on power cords! But, like always (they seem to have EVERYTHING you might electronically need) Best Buy to the rescue. I acquired a new Apple - 85W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter with Magnetic DC Connector and I was back in business in short order with my older model MacBook Air. It's nice to know there's someone reliable in the ever changing field of electronics.

This is an Apple product, not aftermarket. Solidly built, not worth the price they ask for it, by any means, but it will outlast the device it’s intended for. It works flawlessly.

I put off buying an extra power adapter for years because the price is so ridiculous. Finally lost mine and had to buy a new one - does what it says - price sucks.

As always Apple does its magic. Beautiful packaging, although I do believe they need to design the cord better to reduce the fraying of the wires. This has been my third one since 2012, but I use it a lot

Great charger! Definitely overpriced in my opinion, but quality is too-notch and you want that when charging you expensive apple devices.
