Product Description
The 60 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector that ensures your power cable will disconnect if it experiences undue strain and helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.
When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector will light; an amber light lets you know that your portable is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. An AC cord is provided with the adapter for maximum cord length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives you an even easier and more compact way to travel.
Designed to be the perfect traveling companion, the adapter has a clever design, which allows the DC cable to be wound neatly around itself for easy cable storage.
This power adapter recharges the lithium polymer battery while the system is off, on, or in sleep mode. It also powers the system if you choose to operate without a battery.

 Not the same as the MacBook Air adapter July 18, 2010
Paul C. Huang (Arcadia, CA)
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.
 Truly pathetic June 15, 2010

All of my reviews on Amazon are usually very enthusiastic for the product I'm writing it for, but the Apple magsafe adapter is horrible-- not only the old model but the new model (which may be worse). I am now on my THIRD new model in a matter of probably 7 months, and went through FOUR old models that became unwired at the actual magsafe part (oh yeah, and would spark and smoke). I do not abuse the wiring and my laptop stays mostly on my desk, except for the few times it moves to my bed or the couch; I rarely take it out of the home. The new one is supposed to be flush with the laptop to theoretically cause less bending, but instead it spins around and around until the wiring shorts out. Of course each time I noticed it coiled I would fix it and try to straighten out the wiring, but after a few months of this, the wiring just completely quits conducting electricity.
It's absolutely ridiculous that I have to spend close to a $100 dollars every couple of months! I really could NOT care less how "thin" and "stylish" it is-- I want it to work AND for a respectable amount of time. This time I used duct tape around the magsafe part up to a few inches to prevent the wire bending. Hopefully this helps and actually makes this POS have a life span of more than three months.
In summary, I love Apple, I have all their products, including the iPad, but their wiring (including the usb connections) really need new engineering.
Not really Improved June 2, 2010

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.
 Works perfectly June 2, 2010

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.
 good May 9, 2010

it is good and the wire is better, But the problem is they close some ports.
