    I have had three power adaptors now and its no good I will be on my 4th time at £65 a time it's crazy. Apple please please do something about it, I love the gear but you are costing me more for something that is just not fit for purpose. I would love to give more of a hight star rating so help us Apple lovers.

    I've had my computer for a little bit over a year, and my macbook charger has already broken. I can't afford to buy a new charger every year!!

    Total Disregard!

    I've had my Mac Book Pro for 1 yr and I'm having to replace for ($79) a power cord. Please, this is so out of sync with the Apple mystic of quality. I hate feeling ripped off. Apparently based on many negative reviews similar to mine this is a serious problem. Through normal use and much care, this did not prevent this cord from failing. I want my money back and don't feel I should have to replace this piece of trash.

    garbage

    when they work they are great. I use the extension cord piece that plugs into the charger so I cannot comment on how the physical charger is too heavy to hang from an outlet as others have noted.

    My problem is that I am on my way to replace my second charger, this will be my third charger. The last one just stopped charging and the light would not come on in the part that attaches to the Macbook Pro.

    The charger that went bad today, has a pin that will not stay up. If I smack the connector the pin will pop up but then it stays down after plugging into the computer and I get no light at all: no charging.

    I bought my Macbook Pro in Dec, 2010

    less than one star

    I wish that I could rate this product with something less than one star. Love the MacPro, but will not buy another until Apple until they consider the total cost of ownership and convenience. Two adapters at $79 each in a two year period is completely unacceptable.

    Worst Apple product...

    I love Apple. I love my MBP and my iPhone but these power cords are ridiculous. I've had to replace 2 in one year. And this last one only lasted four months...the least Apple could do is replace it for free.

    This is the second time I've had to replace this power cord. I understand the idea behind it, but in practice, they just don't last.

    MagSafe Power Adapter

    This is a piece of junk. It doesn't stay in the plug. It is so heavy it falls out of the electrical outlet. Does anyone else have difficulty with this staying in the wall plug? It is a pain because this is what powers my computer. Is there another cord that works with the Macbook?

    Worst adaptor ever

    • Written by from sacramento

    I've had my MBP for a little over 2 years, and i've had 3 die on me. The wires fray. One of them you can actually see the wires. The other went bad on the inside. The guy at the genius bar told me i wasn't taken care of it. I was. These things should be a lot more durable since they're used with a portable device. I never had this problem with my Lombard adaptor. :/

    I have 2 of these, my brother has 2 and my dad has 1 and in all of the 4 years we have owned our laptops none of them have broken. You guys are mistreating your appliances obviously.

    I've had my mac book pro for about 2 years now and I've had to replace my charger TWICE, I've taken pretty good care with both my chargers but they just seem to die every year.

    Worst Product Ever

    I have never been so dissatisfied with a product. If I didn't need this stupid thing to power my computer (which is how I make my living), I would NEVER purchase it, nor would I ever recommend this product to anyone else. I have been using Mac computers for about 8 years, and the adapters are by far THE WORST. $80 for a terrible product.. thanks Apple. If you claim to be so innovative, maybe you should "innovate" your way to making an adapter that doesn't fail within a year.

    Epic Failure from Apple

    There's a reason why it's rated so low. It fails frequently and is WAY overpriced! I'm so upset that I'm going to buy a cheap windows laptop. Shame on apple for putting out such junk!!!!

    I wish they had stuck to the old design. Mine is just about finished due to a frayed connection at the point the connector attaches to the computer. Never had any problems with past iterations.

    I guess I'll have to shell out $80 to keep my MacBook Pro alive.

    Who makes this junk?

    I've been a Mac person since 2002 and have owned iPods, iPads, laptops, Mac Minis, Apple TV, and various other products. These adapters are without a doubt the worst product that Apple offers.
    I've had my current laptop since 2009, and I am online now to by my SIXTH! power adapter for it. The first one lasted about two years, but since then it's been a maximum of 6 months and a minimum of about 30 days.
    If we want to continue using the computers, what choice to we have but to continue buying this horrible product?

    Love These Cords

    Ok i have read some reviews on this site for this product and i have to say this is a brilliant design choice made by apple! when I got my laptop i was shocked that it was going to be connected via magnet and thought that that was amazing! my cord from my 2008 (thats more 4 Years old) laptop just stopped working today and i have to buy a new one and im going to obviously get this one!

    For the person who spent $500 dollars on new cords for there macbook maybe you should learn how to take care of your nice things that you buy for yourself or buy those laptop that you insert the charger for and see how fast they break! think about it you can save some money here dont backhand apple for you not being able to kept your cords in good condition!

    I love the cord and attachment system keep it up apple little pricy but i guess we are just paying for the name.

    Very Flimsy

    I have had my MBP for 2 years now, and I have had to replace the charger once already due to the fraying of the wire. Luckily for me the apple store replaced it free of charge, because they saw the charger was kept in good condition so it not working, wasn't due to carelessness. Even after two years, people ask me why my MBP looks so new.

    Booo, not worth it!!

    Not even worth buying a Macbook if the one thing you need to make sure your computer is running is so faulty. This is my second adapter, which I was able to get for "free" because I had a warranty at the time, but 9 months later this adapter is also giving me problems. I'll leave it to charge and it only takes the slightest movement for it to stop working. Is this just a scam to continue to generate revenue from macbook pro sales?

    Quit working after two months

    REALLY???? Absolutely no visible flaws on the wire, connector, or adapter, and it just stopped working TWO MONTHS after I purchased it. And I don't use it every day. This is my second power adapter as the wire on my first one frayed where it connects to the adapter from being wound up for travel. Really angry that I need to keep buying disposable power cords at $80 a pop in order to use my computer.
