    My original charger still works after 6 years, bought this one as an extra. It charges fast and it’s better quality than original laptop charger.

    A great charger made by apple. MagSafe2 is solid. The magnet is super strong but can be an issue if you have kids running about. Price was lretty steep for older Apple tech but we know how they are with their tech. Charges fast and reliable!

    Trip-proof cable feature both boon and bane

    Since I keep one adapter in my laptop bag and one at home, each experiences half of normal usage. The cable charges the laptop quickly enough, but the design has its flaws. For example, it is often difficult to keep the cable joined to the power brick. And the Magnetic DC Connector, which is the end that plugs into the laptop, is too easily dislodged. Meant to protect the laptop from being knocked to the ground if someone trips over the cord, the downside of the design is that the cord slips too easily from the laptop, sometimes unnoticed. The magnetic connection often is interrupted when I move the laptop left or right on the desk, for example. I have had to leave home with a partially charged device because the magnetic end had slipped its connection. Which is one reason I keep a spare adapter in the laptop carrier.

    I needed a spare for my 2015 MacBook Pro 15" and it works perfectly. One for the house and one to keep in the laptop briefcase when I am trying to "edit on the fly". A must have...

    I received my “excellent” condition charger and it has dried blood on it and should not have been sold in the condition it was, it has been used more than your “excellent” standards with wear on the cord

    Needed a replacement quickly when my adapter failed in the middle of finals week - picked up a replacement same day. Product is as advertised. Performs as expected. Easy online purchase; easy drive-up pick-up. Pricing equal to online competitors. Thanks, Best Buy!

    The one, the only OEM charger out there that does the job. I don’t trust other off brand chargers for my Apple products. This charger ended up lasting me a couple years before I needed a new one.

    My old MacBook Air wouldn’t charge. Cleaned the port flipped it around till it started to charge. One day it wouldn’t charge no matter what. I figured last try I’ll buy a new charger. I was thinking it was the laptop side that was the problem. Plugged it in Worked great and faster

    Don't Ever Try Generic

    So I had to purchase yet another one of these after my puppy... once again... decided my charger would make a fabulous chew toy. I initially didn't want to put the money out for the charger (I know, I know) so I tried getting a generic charger off of Amazon. BIG mistake. I only had it for about a day and most of the time, it wouldn't light up to indicate it was charging. When it did indicate it was charging, the unit was getting so hot that I was concerned it was a fire hazard. I finally realized there is a reason why I paid so much for all my Apple products in the first place - quality and durability (minus the puppy teething aspect). Glad Best Buy has these on standby!

    Standard Macbook Pro Adapter - same as stock unit

    I needed a second AC adapter for my work laptop, a new model Macbook Pro, so that I could keep it in my bag, and use the original one at my desk without having to unplug it to travel. This product is absolutely identical to the one that comes with the laptop. That's good and what I expected, which is why it gets 5 starts. The actual wall wart, though is a ridiculous design that takes up something like 2-3 slots on a typical power strip. Fortunately, Apple also includes an extension plug that neatly replaces the original and brings the profile down to something like a vacuum cleaner plug. Much better. Also, with the extension plug, the adapter has a very generous length, which is great in conference rooms and such.

    Didn’t think they would have this since my laptop is a mid-2015! Received the product in excellent condition, and the product itself is still holding strong. I would just caution against using this while using what is being charged - it can get hot

    Great MacBook Pro 85w Charger

    Works with most MacBook Pro and Retinas after they moved to the new power connector size. May allow flexibility if one owned less power requiring MacBook Pros than the 85w charger. It will work both with smaller power needed to the largest power needed laptops if connector fits. Check Google searches for Apple website compatibility requirements. This charger does not overheat like many past chargers did on laptops. We had many burned cords in past and this one lasted from 2012 until 2018 where wear actually got it before it overheated as in easier models.

    What more could you ask for? It's a charger, and it works perfectly. I haven't experienced any issues; just ensure you match the charger correctly to the appropriate device.
