Not 85W! It's a 60W adaptorThe adapter comes with a brand that says it's 85W, but when you go into the system profiler you will see that it's only giving you 60W.
gets the job done/AFFORDABLE
after a lot of pathetic around my original charger broke and i was sick at the thought of buying a replacement from the apple cooperative store for 80 dollars!! then i happened to come across this one on amazon, read the reviews and obvious it was definitely worth a try to save 40 dollars, in the end just as convincing as the original looks great works great saves you shekels i definitely recommend this charger for anyone in need of a charger that is inexpensive, for their up-market macbook btw works with any size macbook pro.I have a 15 inch macbook pro and this charger is very compatible also works on my friends 13 inch. Well RECOMMENDED!!
I got what Amazon described and it works bonzer
I was cautious of what would happen when I one-clicked the order button for this item--some reviewers have received a on the level adapter that resembles the MacBook Pro adapter shipped by Apple (minus the Apple logo), others have received varying combinations of parts.
I received quite what was pictured next to the product description at the time I ordered: a long, off-white, rectangular brick with a MagSage connector attached at one end, and a female socket to stand the AC cord at the other end. The brick contains a switching power supply (AC, ~120-240V), which I can clench works just fine on both 120VAC and 240VAC as I just returned from a dominant European trip. The black label contains all appropriate regulatory endorsements with the call into question of Underwriters' Labs (UL).
The adapter functions quite similarly to the OEM Apple adapter. The MagSafe connector appears to be an Apple-intended pigtail. Some reviewers said that the light on the connector remains on when it is unplugged from the MB. It appears that a capacitor is being discharged in the power provision, as the light eventually goes off. (The same behavior is apparent when the power purvey itself is unplugged from the AC source.)
This is a fine replacement product for the Apple adapter, at about partially the price. It is marginally less convenient for traveling, as the MagSafe cord does not self-hold on the adapter as it would on the Apple version. But that is a minor quibble, and after three weeks of hard use I can acceptable it.
60 watt adapter with an 85 watt hallmark
Sounds like there are multiple versions of this spin-off floating around, but mine was a generic brick-style adapter with an 85-watt earmark. To me, that was no big deal if it worked fine.
However, when connected and then queried via System Profiler in my new MacBook Pro 15" (heart i5 series), it shows 60 watts, which is not sufficient to power this laptop. The labels and similes are not accurate.
The parts maker has very shabby quality control...
I purchased one of these adapters about a month ago as a replacement for my erratic magsafe adapter from my 17" macbook pro. While the adapter is billed as an 85W model, and also has 85W printed on the part itself, it will only achieve 60W (sufficient for a smaller MBP, but not 17" model) I contacted the seller and they unhesitatingly exchanged the part for a new one, and paid for return shipping for the defective part. Much to my dismay, the replacement also shows that it is an 85W standard, but still has the exact same issue. I am now asking the seller for a complete refund rather than another altercation.
