I bought this as a replacement for the original adapter for my 13″ Macbook, which shorted out after 13 months of regular use (primarily in house). This design is suppose to be an improvement on the original design (the cord originally connected perpendicular to the Macbook instead of flush to the body) and mimics the design of the power adapter that’s been used for the Macbook Air since its inception. This cord shorted at the mag tip after 39 days! Do not wrap the cord around the included hooks, but instead coil it loose and secure it with Velcro. Apparently, wrapping the cord on the “designed for storage hooks” is no longer possible with the new power adapters even though I have adapters from my much older 12″ Powerbook (2000) that are still working fine and are stored in this manner regularly. This is starting to make me reconsider ever buying another Mac laptop. Having to pay $79 for replacement power adapter twice in less than 18 months is getting to be an expensive owner’s tax for having a Mac.

Apple has a serious design flaw. This Apple adapter with the L plug does not work properly with my Macbook 13.3″. It does not charge by just plugging it into the computer. The green light does not come on. In order to charge the computer, one has to remove the battery and put it back in. Then the green light comes on. This means that one has to shut off the computer to charge it. Big pain if you’re working and the battery runs low and you want to plug it in. So, I returned it to Amazon and purchased an independent company charger with the “old” plug. It works just fine. Instead of $80 for the genuine Apple, the independent cost $20. Goodbye Apple

It’s a power adapter so not much to write about. I really like that the cable now goes around the screen more easily and also the magnet seemed much more powerful and offered a better connection to the laptop. Otherwise it’s the same thing as the previous model.

Speck snap-on case users: This does not work with your existing case, because the clearance between the connector’s wire and the case is minimal, so the Speck case gets in the way. I am sure Speck is working on a new one, but if you have one made before the introduction of the current MBP (4/13/2010), avoid this.
If you look at the strain-relief plastic around the AC wire (before it reaches the MagSafe connector), you will notice that instead of injection molding plastic, it is a loose-fitting tube that offers minimal protection.
I have not cut the cable open, so I wouldn’t know whether the wire inside has now gone 100% aluminum (not as flexible as copper, and definitely CHEAPER). Doing things on the cheap, but make it look expensive, is what Apple does best. The plastic material is nothing to write home about. It feels like it had a overdose of a Pfizer product out of the factory. This may actually contribute to metal fatigue.
Until I cut the wire open and find out what’s inside, I can’t say conclusively why the power cords (AC and DC) feel like wet noodles that have minds of their own.

I have the late 2009 white Macbook edition. This power supply came with my model, but I wanted one to put in my bag for travel, so my lazy butt didn’t have to unplug and plug from under my desk, the power supply every day I went to work. I purchase the same supply here from Amazon, it works great, as expected. I love the little attachment you can slide on, so you don’t have this huge long cord attached to the power supply. It make lugging it around really easy, as the power supply itself is nicely shaped and light compared to other laptop’s power supplies I have had.
