Reviews for MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter

This works just fine so long as it is attached, but it falls off easily. I recommend taping it to your power adapter

While this works as advertised, it is a very poor design. Please redesign this so that it will not easily get lost. You are Apple, supposedly renowned for your design prowess. Please figure out a way to put a string to attach this so it will not get bumped and fall off of my laptop, or a similar way to attach this to somthing (my backpack or laptop case). For 10 bucks, I expect more than this piece of ...

I purchased a MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display along with a Thunderbolt Display, The Thunderbolt Display requires this converter and one was included (good), Recently, I detached my MacBook Pro, and on return, found the converter missing. After a thorough check of my office floor, I can only assume it stayed on the MacBook and then got bumped off. $10 later (bad), I have another but I feel like I had to pay for a poor design. Besides, the T-bolt Display should have had the RIGHT CONNECTOR in the first place! It works, but 2 stars is the best I can give it.

1 in every 5 times I connect, the power light doesn't come on. I have to jiggle it around and continue to reconnect it until I get a light.

This works good

AND cheaper than amazon, almost a first.

These converters are great. I don't have to trash my old adapters that I keep in my office, home, briefcase, etc. Best of all, I don't have to spend the money to buy new ones.

If you read my review of the 85W Magsafe 2 adapter "Magnet not Strong Enough" and many others you will find that the native Magsafe 2 adaptor supplied with the MBP Retina Display is too weak to work with, it falls out constantly. This is the solution, use this with your older chargers or EVEN BUY A NEW 85W MAGSAFE 1 or 1.5 and USE THIS ADAPTOR instead of the magsafe 2 adaptor by itself. Unless your household is accident prone with children or wild pets, you will probably be happer this way, with a power adapter that doesn't fall out ever time you pickup your laptop or move. It is surprisingly strong where you won't loose it, and will still break away in moderate conditions, not all conditions (like if your laptop is at the edge of a slippery table and it is pulled at the right angle.) This is a the best solutions for adults that need to get work done and not worry about their adaptor falling out.

The converter works as advertised. It lets me use an existing power supply with my new MacBook Pro Retina.

The converter's magnet attaches to the power supply's old MagSafe connector very effectively. The magnetic connection between the converter and the MacBook isn't as strong. The problem is that the old MagSafe adapter and the converter is now long enough that leverage makes it very easy to disconnect from the MacBook. This is very annoying, especially if you hold the MacBook in your lap while using it.
