Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter for 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro

I like that it is an original Apple product. Yes, Apple buys from China - I don't like that. I have used Macs since the 80s. I know their packaging. I don't see any reason to think this is not OEM. I have a 2008 Macbook Pro, bought new in 2009. This is my first power adapter replacement. My mac is supposed to take a T-type connection. I checked with Apple, and an L-tip works ok too, so I got an 85w L-tip Magsafe Power Adapter. NOT MAGSAFE 2. I have listened to the whole Jethro Tull Aqualung album and the brick is warm to the touch. It is NOT hot, and definitely not too hot to touch. I think that is typical. The battery has charged, but I need to replace that, too. I have replaced that once before, so once in 15 years. So I will unplug the computer when done using. So far, I am happy!

Fast shipping and it works good

Très cher

I'll start by saying that I previously purchased this charger (for my 2012 15" Macbook Pro) from a different online retailer more than once & it crapped out on me each time... After the most recent incident, I was forced to use a 60W charger (sourced seemingly new/unused at my local thrift shop) as these 85W chargers aren't exactly cheap. Surprisingly enough, that 60W charger did the job for a while, but it ran VERY hot, & the rubber around the wiring gradually started disintegrating. On a couple of occasions, it even sparked when I plugged it in & I had to reset my circuit breaker (obviously dangerous). Eventually, it completely stopped charging, & as I use my laptop for work, I had no choice but to go ahead & grab another 85W charger (but NOT from the retailer I had previously purchased it from); Enter good old AMAZON :)... Now anyone who has been on Amazon long enough knows that you must be VERY careful when purchasing certain items on here as it can be hard to tell what is authentic & what is not (especially when Amazon is not the "seller"). In short, I took a chance & purchased this charger on here (seeing that it was shipped AND sold by Amazon), and I can say that it is 100% LEGIT/AUTHENTIC/COMPLETE. It comes in the original box/plastic shrink-wrapping, it includes the extension power cable/info card/etc. (EXACTLY as you would receive it from your local Apple store), it fires right up as expected & works FLAWLESSLY! I can't speak for the few reviewers who claimed that this charger was getting extremely hot. My guess is that it was a mismatch with their laptop (similar to my prior mismatch, as some require this 85W charger, while others require one of lower wattage or vice versa). As stated before, I found a 60W charger, used it on my 2012 15" Macbook Pro & it would get EXTREMELY hot... Well, my laptop is supposed to use the 85W charger, of course, but when that charger went south, I had to use the 60W charger for a while & that was my experience; I'm guessing that these customers had a smiliar type of mismatch. In any event, if you're looking to replace the original/OEM 85W charger for your Mackbook/Macbook Pro & you're concerned about authenticity, LOOK NO FURTHER!!! This is ABSOLUTELY the real deal (as long as you see "sold by Amazon" AND "ships from Amazon" on the right side of the product page). Hope this helps somebody to rest easy :)

This charger works fine but you have to make sure it doesn’t get too hot when charging or it will easily burn itself out. I’m in my third one in 11 years. A little TLC wouldn’t hurt either.
