[QUOTE="wrightm, post: 1456996, member: 10753"] I agree....with such an investment, I should really be using the original manufacturer's product....but the charger is $80 from Apple and $20 from an off brand. That is just way too much of a difference and in my opinion, being taken advantage of. For years now, I have been using off brand products for my Canon and Apple and really never had a problem. My apple products have also also had their faults, so they are not perfect either. Of course this is terrifying when a problem actually does occur; but in what situation would a faulty off brand power cable actually do damage to your laptop? I mean this one just about melted itself down while attached to my mac and there was not a problem with the laptop. $80 or $20....just way too much of a price difference in a simple power cable. The original one, from mac btw, fell apart on me as well. [/QUOTE]
