    Love the design. But it failed. Like many other reviewers here, I've only been using it for a short time. In my case, 14 months. So now I get to buy another one for $80.

    My MacBook power cable is not working after just 2 months

    My power cable is not working I wish apple can come out with a better cable that can last longer, this computer and devices are too expensive for a customer to buy them every now and then. I love my Macbook, but I can't afford to spend $75 to $100 every 2 months.

    Fire Hazard

    Although my power supply lasted several years, when it finally went, it nearly started a fire. Luckily I was in the room when smoke came out of the unit while the wires began to burn & melt. Same problem: worn wires.

    Overpriced and unreliable, though still convenient

    For everyone having trouble with this thing: when it fail to work for me (I plug it in but the lights are off and laptop's not charging) I put it on a heater to warm it up. After a minute it is working again (weird).

    Good, but what's with the refrigerator power cord?

    As an extra power supply for my new 11 in Air, the basic 45W brick seems well made and works fine. But the extension power cord is totally out of character with the elegance of the little Air. It is very very very stiff, has a thickness larger than what powers my refrigerator, and now requires a 3 prong outlet. The flip-out prongs from the brick alone don't need a grounded pin, so why include this extra size? In any event, i just cut off all but 1 inch of this refrigerator power cord, and connected a new flexible 120V lamp cord. But for $79, this is something Apple should have made!
