Review on 60W Portable Power Adapter for MacBook Pro 13 inch with Retina Display - Magnetic 2 Charger with Extra USB Port - Late 2012 and After by Mondreka Rosenhoover

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far, so good. - Chargers and adapters

Here is my review after almost 3 months of use. I like the design. I originally received it in hopes that I could replace the DC to Magsafe2 cable if needed. I still have hope of doing this (I found one at BatPower but I'm wondering if it sells Icalla?). Anyway, I've been thinking about ordering it just in case as I can't afford not to charge my PC for days waiting for a new one, you know? From time to time, the charging indicator flashes, which seems a bit confusing. However, I think that in general everything should be fine for a while. I've had terrible luck with these third party chargers (not that Apple's chargers work that much better). What I ALWAYS do is unplug the cable prior to transport, which I believe will extend the life of the cable. My experience with both official Apple chargers (on two different MacBook Pro generations) and chargers from other manufacturers shows that the connection between the cable and the adapter keeps dropping. Perhaps the most appealing thing about the new MacBooks is that they have a USB-C port for charging, so you can disconnect the cable from the adapter. Anyway, having tried probably half a dozen chargers, I think this is probably the best. . Of course, don't trust any charger with a rating of less than 4 stars and maybe less than 4.5 stars. Good luck finding a charger that lasts longer than 3 months!
