Review on ๐Ÿ’ก Apple 85W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter: Essential Charging Solution for MacBook Pro with Retina Display by Evan Burnside

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This is the fourth power supply I've bought for my Mac Book Pro, which is not quite two years old.

Once again the small cable at the connection to the adapter is frayed. I left several old power adapters scattered around my house along with the Magsafe to Magsafe 2 converter to at least prevent my travel adapter from being unpacked and repackaged. But as a normal travel card, this adapter is still enough for 6 months. Difficulties in repairing the design will not arise. Apple promotes its design by arguing that the connector won't bend or break when pulled out of the computer. So why not create the same tear-off design on the other end of the cable that plugs into the adapter? Too much for technology? (Too big a loss of income?). Okay, how about a modular connection that looks like a thicker cable that plugs into an outlet? So if the little connector next to the power adapter wears out (and it will), maybe a dangling Apple customer can just buy a new cable that connects the adapter to the computer? it is built into your income forecasts.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • So-so
