Reviews for Apple 85W MagSafe 2 Power Adaptor (for MacBook Pro with Retina display)

I have MBP Retina display (1-month old) and today I observed that its MagSafe 2 Power adapter stopped working suddenly. No orange/green lights. Tried changing power outlets but still no success. Luckily I had bought a spare one too. So currently using it for charging. But its really disappointing that within 1 month power adapter would die. Not a good sign Apple.

The magnet has its moments where it could be a little stronger. But ever since i have crossed over from PC to Apple. This charger is awesome. I was notorious for destroying the old PC charging cables as they were either accidentally pulled on or even worse if someone tripped over the cable, the entire PC (laptop) came with the cable. This magsafe 2 power adaptor for my Macbook pro Retina, stops this from happening.

I bought a MagSafe Power Adaptor and use a MagSafe->MagSafe 2 adaptor. It's not perfect, but sure works a heck of a lot better.

Trying to charge my new 15" retina display all day and it's still at 50%. Why? Because the charger keeps popping out and I don't notice. It doesn't even sit in the spot. The magnet is so week it starts slipping off as soon as you try to attach it. Ridiculous. If I could rate no stars I would.

can't tell you how horrible this charger is. it just won't stay connected to the computer. isn't magnetic enough. set it down on the bed, the charger pops off.

I don't quite understand all the complaining. I mean, yes, the connector unplugs easily, and maybe the build quality has been better in my iPod USB Power Adapter some years ago... but the design is fine, the unit is silent, and yes, you can carry your computer around without worrying that it may disconnect.
Except, well, except you trip over it. Of course.
I like everything about the charger.

I have had 3 chargers like this one now and all have broken from the little wire that goes into the box part of the charger. Being that Apple is one of the most expensive and top producers for gadgets to get online you think they would make a better quality charger where the wire is more sturdy and holds up longer. I am very disappointed at the fact that this is the third charger I have bought and it keeps breaking in the same spot. I am very unhappy with it and the price to get a new one is absolutely ridiculous when I know that it will happen again. Either one make the tiny cord as durable as the thicker cord on the other end of the charger or make this charger cheaper because this is ridiculous that no matter what this faulty charger is going to keep breaking and I will have to get a new one at the high price of $80.

I love my macbook, but absolutely HATE this new magsafe adapter. It constantly pops out whenever the laptop is moved and it sticks out way too far. The older generation one was perfect. Hopefully they move back to the older generation one next year.

I much prefer the older MagSafe power cord. The one that came with my new MBPr pops out far too easily. I regularly find my battery almost depleted because the cord came out without my knowing.

I've had my MBP exactly 24 hours and in that time, I've accidentally tripped over the charger cord over ten times, causing it to fall out. As I paid over $3000 AUD, I expected that it would at least, stay connected!
