    Expensive, yes but definitely worth it! I thought about getting the cheaper one, but what's the point? This charges my Mac a lot faster and it doesn't heat up!

    I picked this up for a MacBook Pro that I have been working on and while the charger is much larger than my the charger for my MacBook Air, that is understandable since it is powering a much more powerful device. The charger is of typical Apple quality. It has a very solid build. It comes with the whip extension, as well as the typical two prong smaller adapter for a more compact size. Other than being expensive, it works like a champ. I can't complain.

    It's not Best Buy's fault that Apple makes their charging cords so flimsy and yet so expensive! My complaint is that when I went in, I was in a hurry. The Customer Service Rep asked me what I needed. I said that I had a MacBook Pro and needed a replacement charger. He asked, "85W?" and I said yes. He handed me the box and I paid. It wasn't until I was back at work and opened the box that I realized that he did not hand me the MagSafe2 that I needed, but an earlier version. He could have asked me..or told me the old style was still being sold. So, customer service could have been better. I then had to come back, stand in line, and get the correct cord! Not a big deal, but enough to know to stay away from the Moline, IL Best Buy whenever possible. Hop on the bridge, travel a couple of miles, and go to the much better store in Davenport, IA. The new cord was just fine, by the way!

    Perfect charger for 15-inch MacBook Pro mid-2015

    Apple's 85W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter is Apple's standard charger for the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. I bought two of them, one was an open box special at $10 off. Both chargers worked as expected and included the extension cord. The magnetized DC connector is particularly useful.This is a well-designed charger that lives up to Apple's standards.

    I would never substitute a third party charger or plug for my Mac so first of all, this is a great product. I had to purchase a new one because after 10+ years of, uh, not-so-careful-use, the cable finally got a stress fracture. I was sooooo lucky to find an open-box charge at Best Buy on the day that I needed one. So yes my friends, it is possible to purchase an Apple charger at less than the full retail price.

    Great buy. Lasts a long time unless you get a lemon. Be careful, if the cord turns brown, call Apple for a free replacement. It could catch on fire.

    I had been using a charger on its last leg with an older model Apple Laptop. I’m very skittish when it comes to technology and the process at Best Buy was made so easy by the employees there. They knew exactly what I needed for my older model and it works great. Couldn’t be happier.

    Better to have a Spare

    I don't think I can buy a new technological device nowadays without buying a spare charger. I only had one for my Mac Air and it was always a pain to constantly unplug it at home when I'm rushing to get to class or just leaving the house in general. Having a spare charger that I can keep in my laptop bag made my life that much easier. Plus, purchasing the 85W was cheaper compared to purchasing the smaller adapter. Bigger charger for less and it charges faster was a win for me.
