I guess I'm a lucky one!

I've had my Mac Book for a year and a half and have experienced no problems with my power cord. My daughter has had her's for two years at college - no problems either. One tidbit of advice - the power cord SHOULD be plugged into a power strip, not the wall outlet - to protect your laptop from power surges during electrical storms. This also eliminates the "falling out of the wall" syndrome some people experience (although mine has never slipped out).

I won't argue that Apple should not beef it up a bit, but just like their iPod headphones, Apple seems to like using very light gauge wire whenever possible. Maybe a more rugged "traveler" model could be introduced...with heavier wiring and a better fit when using a wall outlet. Apple are you listening?

DO NOT LISTEN!

The guy who told you to get the 85w power cord for a MacBook that clearly needs a 60w cord is a idiot. If you do that you could hurt zap you MacBook. Use the cord that apple designed for you laptop. Besides, if you use them correctly they should not brake for years to come. If a school can use these cords and not brake them you can too.

No Problems with 60W Power Adapter

Written by TW from Bellevue

Aug 2, 2009

After reading some of the reviews on the 60W MagSafe Power Adapter, I am surprised and should consider myself lucky. I've had mine since September of 2006 and have not had any problems or issues with it. I do have to replace it now only because my puppy chewed it - that is my own fault for leaving it within her reach :o)

Never had a problem

I have had my MacBook for 3 years. And I'm still using the same power cord. It is always plugged in and gets moved from room to room if needed. MacBook uses 60W transformer. I do NOT recommend using a larger one for it. And take care of the cord, it is a piece of electronics. From a Electrical Engineer

Great Costumer Service

Written by ML from San Gabriel

Last week, the wires for the cord melted the plastic sheath and eventually made the charger almost useless. I took it to the local Apple store and even though the entire store was packed with people, they replaced it. I really appreciated the good costumer service.

Excellent Power supply!!!!

Written by JC from Anaheim

I've had my macbook a little more than 8 months and the power adapter works great and looks like new. It only get hots when it is charging the battery, otherwise it stays cool. The negative comments are because people do not take a little care in owning their apple products. Operator error!!

Smart, stylish design - just like my MacBook.

Written by DV from DALLAS

Some people have complained that their MagSafe adapter tends to break. I don't know - mine is fine after a year. My previous laptop was a Compaq for which I had to replace the adapter three times - mostly because I kept tripping over the cord - sometimes taking the laptop to the floor with me.

Whether or not this one is more reliable, I think the other features are great. Very portable, the status light is great, very compact without the extension cable, and the fold-out cable holders are great. Overall, the usual smart, stylish Apple design.

Best adapter ever made

Written by JF from Tamarac

May 6, 2009

I've owned many laptops and two Apple laptops, the latest a MacBook Air. This adapter is the best idea in the mobile market. I never lost a laptop from someone or myself tripping on the adapter cord, but I've had many close calls.

This is another great invention from a great company. Thanks, Apple for thinking about us, mobile users.

Simply Great

We've three of these in the household, one used at a desk, two mobile. They all work fine, the oldest is over two years old and looks new. No heat issues, no frayed cables, nothing amiss.
I love the design, love the fact I change the plug for a cord when extra length is needed. I've even noticed PC users looking at the thing with envy, and it's a power supply!!

I have used my power supply with little to no regard for its care and it hasn't failed me in over 9 months. The ease of connecting the mag safe connector in the dark when power begins to run low, and the ease of wrapping the vord for storage in my backpack are big pluses!

I have found no problems with the MagSafe Power Adapter. I was looking to buy a second one for my home use and saw that it was only rated 2 stars. I have to say that this is the best power adapter I have ever used and I am buying a second one so I have ready power at home and in the Lab, (office for those who don't work in Labs).

Convenient, compact, and it doesn't constantly trip me or pull my computer off the desk. Just as advertised, and nice little tabs for wrap up storage.
<3 love it!

Great design

CLEARLY other people who reviewed this product don't have the slightest knowledge of maintaining technology. When you take the plug off the laptop DO NOT pull by the cable. INSTEAD grab the plastic connector and tilt it up or down until the magnet loses attraction. Other reviewer proved they think that cables are made from solid steel chain on the inside, never to break. Electrical components should never perform the tasks of mechanical components.

Good Adapter

Written by JF from Claremont

Mar 6, 2009

I love the MagSafe adapter, because I see so many people pull their computers onto the floor because someone trips over the cord. I, like it seems very few others, have had no problems, and I don't take particularly good care of mine. I think it's possible Apple may have a production problem, rather than a design problem.

2yrs no problems here

Am I the only one who hasn't had a problem. I have had mine for two years now and no problems. I'm looking at the reviews because I need to buy a second one for traveling. Yes the transformer (the brick) gets a little warm which is normal and doesn't effect my use. Love my MacBook!!! And despite the bad reviews I will be buying a second power cord.

Great Powerbrick

I have 2, from 2 different computers, i have had them for about 2 years now, and both are fine. I love the magsafe thing, and would never buy a computer without it (unless it was something nostalgic like an old apple laptop). but it would seem that most of everyone else has problems. I use my charger so much, and use it in places like backyards, etc, and it still works fine! So I don't know why everyone else is getting these problems?
