It appeared that some other customer gamed the returns system and returned a non-Apple charger in the box of a real one, which was then not properly inspected and subsequently sold to me by Amazon Warehouse under the listing of an OEM product with cosmetic damage to the box. That being said, PLEASE check your order when you get it to make sure you did not get a third-party knockoff like I did when you were expecting – and ordered – an OEM unit. They do cost more, but you can always be assured that the quality of the unit will be top-notch. When it comes to Apple chargers, proper Apple OEM units are really the only way to go. Don’t waste your money here.Įdit: For some reason this charger is $80 now – don’t know if that means they are now selling actual Apple chargers or if they’re just getting $20 more for their cheap knock-off. $60 to learn what I already knew: TANSTAAFL, and you get what you pay for. Now I’ve got to suck it up and pay $80 for a real one.
So I paid $60 for a charger that lasted 10 months (apparently I was one of the lucky ones to have it last that long). Note the low component density and terrible soldering. Note how “official” the fake on that web page looks. What I saw was basically the same as what this tear down found: looked like my original adapter.īut after 10 months of use, it died. The adapter arrived working and it looked very much like a real OEM Apple adapter. I sorta wondered how they could manage to do that (Apple tightly controls the market price of their products), but I wanted to believe. I didn’t want to pay $80 for an Apple adapter, so I was delighted to find these fine people selling “genuine” Apple adapters for $60.

When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector lights up an amber light lets you know that your notebook is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection. It also helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. The 85W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector so if someone should trip over it, the cord disconnects harmlessly and your MacBook Pro stays put safely.
