This review is from: Original Apple 60W Power Adapter (T-shaped Connector) for MacBook with AC Extension Wall Cord (Personal Computers)
My wife’s white Macbook’s original power adapter’s cable ripped and was no longer reliable, so we needed to get a new one. Luckily, I checked Amazon before I checked out at Best Buy and paid full price. This is a valid genuine Apple replacement adapter, just at a cheaper price.
I’m not rating the design of the adapter. This product, however, does what it should — it replaces a faulty power adapter for a Macbook.

There’s a major flaw in design of this apple power adapter, and it’s the ultra thin cord and its common point of bending at where it connects to the macbook, specifically at just before the magsafe ending. After using my macbook for a year, the cord suddenly smelled like it was burning.. the covering on the cord melted off.. sparked smoked some more.. then kaput completely, argh! googled cost for new one, $80 bucks a pop. Checked out apple’s site for reviews on same adapter and same problem came up with others.. over and over again. I luv apple comps., but this power adapter is faulty. Go read the reviews at apple’s site! Almost 600 now, and most negative.. having same burnout happening to others in usually same spot. I suggest contacting your local apple service center and getting the tech support number with Apple and talking with them before dishing out your mula. I’ll grab a new one if they don’t replace, but will definately re-inforce this area around magnetic end so as not to create a stresspoint that breaks the connection. Just a heads-up.

I am on my third adapter in the past year, the plastic wire cover breaks at the connecter and no longer functions. After the first two went out I was extremly careful about using this cord and it still broke! and as Apple has a patent on this product I cant get one by a different manufacturer, I am stuck ordering yet another one. Let me know if someone is starting a law suit over this one!

|Nice while it lasts.. then *POOF* Burnout… at magnetic connection ..,
There’s a major flaw in design of this apple power adapter, and
it’s the ultra thin cord and its common point of bending at where
it connects to the macbook, specifically at just before the magsafe
ending. After using my macbook for a year, the cord suddenly smelled
like it was burning.. the covering on the cord melted off.. sparked
smoked some more.. then kaput completely, argh! googled cost for new
one, $80 bucks a pop. Checked out apple’s site for reviews on same
adapter and same problem came up with others.. over and over again.
