Overview

The 45-Watt MagSafe Power Adapter for MacBook Air features a magnetic DC connector that ensures your power cable will disconnect if it experiences undue strain and helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.

When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector will light; an amber light lets you know that your portable is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. An AC cord is provided with the adapter for maximum cord length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives users an even easier and more compact way to travel.

Redesigned specifically for MacBook Air, the adapter is the perfect traveling companion. It has a clever design which allows the DC cable to be wound neatly around itself for easy cable storage.

This power adapter recharges the lithium polymer battery while the system is off, on, or in sleep mode. It also powers the system if you choose to operate without a battery.

Compatible only with MacBook Air.

    MacBook Air 45W magsafe power adapter

    Written by KH from Hancock

    Jan 29, 2009

    I've had my macbook air for 4 months. Today the power cord stopped working. By untwisting the thin cord and playing with it for awhile I was able to get it to function again, but for how long?

    After reading all the problem reviews this scares me very much. I'm skeptical of the fragility of the wire that connects to my computer and the design that says wrapping it around the "legs" on the box for storage is a good idea. And I'm very deeply frustrated with my only option being getting a new one for 79 dollars. Come on - I spent about $2500 on macbook air, time machine, cd drive, software etc. etc. and 4 months later I don't even have a dependable power supply for my $2500 computer?     …More

    Terrible Product Design

    Written by TM from hilton head island

    Dec 16, 2009

    The prongs that go into the outlet broke off within a couple of months and I constantly had to re-insert them. If I pulled the charger out of the wall the prongs would sometimes remain in the wall, making it very annoying and dangerous to pluck the prongs out of the outlet

    Instead of buying a whole new charger for $80, I'm going to use the prong insert from the Travel pack to replace my broken prong. The Travel pack is $40, which is a little better than buying a new charger, but still an absolute rip off to fix my junky charger. I hope that Apple changes the design soon!     …More

    Falls apart - and NOT worth $80. Maybe $8.

    Written by HT from League City

    Oct 31, 2009

    While I like the ease of a magnetic charger, this one fell apart when only a few months old. The little magnetic head is actually three parts, and when the little silver/plastic-y casing comes apart from the base, the whole thing falls apart. It makes it difficult to charge your Mac without TAPING the magnetic head to the Mac. I've literally had to do this because I hate the thought of spending another $80 on a cheaply made charging cord. That's just RIDICULOUS! …More

    Very fragile short life device with no repair parts available

    Written by FL from Signy

    Oct 17, 2009

    Apple, are you listening?

    So why don’t you recall and redesign the power adaptor?

    The magnetic tip falls apart. No spare parts available and guess what, you have to buy the whole new adapter.
    How can you expect customers to be loyal when a 10 cents part breaks and you tell your clients they need to spend 75 dollars to buy a new one?
