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

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!

Not sure whats going on with the rest, but my MBP early 2013 model, the magnet is super strong. Its almost too hard to pull out. (late design change maybe?)

For every one wanting the old "L" shaped adaptor, just get the other 85w version with a mag 2 - mag adaptor. I fail to see how the "t" shape is that big of a problem. But hey, to each their own.

Its amazing how happy I am with everything about my new Retina 15", yet how disappointed I am with the charger. It is so inferior to the previous version, it boggles me why you would feel comfortable including this with your new product. It puts SO many limitations on the usage of my macbook pro. Without a full charge, the computer is almost useless in bed or on the couch. In some ways, it is impossible to position the computer and charge at the same time. In others ways, the charger simply wont stay in unless I perfectly still and keep an eye on it at all times. I had NONE of these issues with the previous magsafe charger. PLEASE offer a version similar to that one for the Retina macbook pros.

the charger pops out at the slightest touch. i'm home rehabbing from surgery and stuck in bed and the charger that was once a little annoying is now extremely annoying. in addition to the weak magnet, you can't put the computer on its left side without losing the charger. please make it stronger or have the L as an option

I've only had my MBPR 15" for a couple weeks now and I have already knocked it off of my bed twice because I tripped on the MagSafe cord and it yanked the MBPR off of the bed and onto the floor, and it wasn't on the edge of the bed it was at least a foot and a half away from the edge of the bed.

This is a $3000 computer and has a huge design flaw in my opinion. My previous MBP with the original MagSafe adapter never had any issues, and I tripped on it countless times!

To top it off when I'm charging on my lap the slightest little bump knocks it off, but when you pull straight out on the cord the magnet has amazing force. I think this is because of the new thinner design.

Apple, listen up, your obsession with thin has gone too far and made a great invention terrible. The market has moved on, we don't care about thin anymore. We want products that work! You know the way you use to make products!
