This review is from: Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adapter for MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro (Bulk Packaging) (Electronics)
Like everyone on here I tried out this charger because the ones at the mac store are so expensive. When I finally received mine in the mail and tried to use it I found that it would only charge my computer sometimes and that was if I plugged it in and out repeatedly. I was extremely frustrated because I use my computer for work and so I e-mailed Acctronics (the seller) and said I wanted a refund because I no longer had the time to wait for a replacement. They complied and e-mailed me a shipping label to use so I wouldn’t have to pay for shipping…or so I thought. When I went to return the item at the post office they said they could not take the shipping label that it was “invalid” so I had to pay 6.00 for shipping.I went to the Mac store to buy my 80.00 charger but brought this charger with me to show them to make sure that it wasn’t just my computer causing the malfunction. When they saw it they said that without a doubt what ACCTRONICS IS SELLING ARE REFURBISHED CHARGERS! I warned my boyfriend who also needed a charger but he thought maybe I got a defective one and wanted to give it a try. He just got his in a the mail and it doesn’t work at all! Acctronics will refund your money however if your shipping label wont work they will not refund that part. Their chargers are refurbished chargers and there is a very very good chance yours won’t work properly when you get it. Take my advice and find another seller for this product. (sidenote: When I looked up Acctronics on Amazon they have 4 mac chargers they sell (all the same) I appears that when they get enough bad reviews they start a new account) SHADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I purchased the Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adapter (L type) for MacBook from Westronics, fulfilled by Amazon. The item description states that this is a genuine Apple product and that it is a brand new unit. The adapter I received was not new. There were scratches on the surface and one large gash on the side. The unit looks refurbished.

My device: 2006 White Macbook Laptop
At first I was hesitant to purchase a new power adapter from a non-Apple retailer because of all the fakes, but i’m fortunate to report that this one doesn’t appear to be fake.
The adapter has the Apple logo and looks legit. However, the cable texture feels a bit grainy compared to my old charger… so maybe Apple redesigned the cable, I am unsure.
Anyway, the most important attribute is whether the charger works as advertised! I can report that the charger has been properly working the past week. The status light on the plugs work (Orange = charging, Green = Fully charged), and the laptop has not exploded or anything =)
When comparing this new plug to the old plug, this plug sports a new side design that aims to prevent the wire to bend and break from extended use (Something my old charger did). However, one thing I kind of dislike is how much easier it is to accidentally pull the plug from the laptop compared to the old one. The magnetism is weaker and a slight tug of the wire will unplug the charger completely from the laptop.
To sum up:
This charger works and is much cheaper ($15 bucks cheaper) than buying from Apple.
I will update this review if any issues arise.
