Reviews for Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adaptor (for MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro)

After my original charger for my MacBook eventually broke, I had to buy this, the updated version. My first one broke within a couple of days and I had to take it back for a replacement. I've had this one about a year and it's just starting to go. The metal connector into my MacBook keeps overheating, and I almost burnt myself on it the other day it was so hot. Very dangerous!!!!! It looks as if one of the wires is loose as it will only charge if the wire is in a certain position. This is probably due to the fact that my power source is at a right angle to my MacBook, not in front or behind it so the wire has had to bend to the side. My MacBook is quite old now, and I hope to replace it in the next six months/1 year. I just hope the power adapter holds out till then as I don't fancy spending £65 I don't have on a new adapter. May just look for a 3rd party one for the time being. Disappointing!

I bought a 13" Macbook Pro 2 years back. Unfortunately, it's my 2nd adapter that has stop functioning due to some reason ( I'm sure Apple service people would find some reason to say that they can not cover this under warranty).

Extremely frustrated with the poor quality of their adapter and Apple's excuses to acknowledge that their adapter is a big design failure !!

Avoid. When I was working on my MacBook Pro 13'' 2009, my computer shut off and won't turn back on. Got a new charger, works but with "Shift" key stuck, requiring a repair by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Avoid buying this product

My wife is going on to her third power cord for her 13" Macbook Pro in the two years that she has owned this laptop. In any other industry this would have been subject to an industrial recall.

Step up Apple, your whole brand rests on high quality and you are ticking off alot of otherwise lloyal customers with this poorly made power cord.

I have had my MacBook 13in for 4+years(early2008) and my charger has only started to have issues sense Jan-2013. Though I am careful with my chords and do not wrap the chord around the plastic tabs on the brick. wrapping chords in that manner always shortens the life span of the chord.

though I am purchasing a new one now and think they should not cost $80 dollars.

I now have to buy my third adaptor in three years due to the cord fraying at the connection magnetic point. The cord and the product are clearly not of the quality to perform the task. Apple should be ashamed at the performance of this power cord!

OMG! For the price of these computers, I would think the cords would last longer. I think I've had my computer for about 2 years and I'm searching for my 3rd cord. I got the second one under warranty.... which they are very careful to say "only 1 power supply". Not surprising because these cords are not durable. I use a Dell laptop for work and in nearly 6 years I've replaced the power cord once. And it wasn't that long ago. Step up Apple. I'm not going to pay $80 each time this cord breaks. May be time to switch to Dell.

That is the third power adaptor I need to buy for my macbookAir... There is really something wrong either with my macbook or with the power adaptor... At last, it becomes very expensive....

I've had my MacBook Pro for 3.5 years now, and my current (and 4th) power adapter has just stopped working on me. These are cheaply made, and it is very frustrating that in order to meet college deadlines, I'll most likely have to buy yet another one. How is it that Apple can continue to produce a product that consistently doesn't work?

Second charger that broke at the insertion point (which stays stuck into the laptop), and I have to insert the rest of the four pins into the part broken off.

Also frayed 1-1.5 cms from where the rubber cable starts.

I feel sad that I'll have to buy another cable, and another after that.

Poor poor construction.
