[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1511255, member: 24160"] While my wife is still using the original power adapter that came with her mid '07 model... I have gone through at least 1 a year on my '06 model and the one for my mid '11 MBA totally came unwrapped exposing bare wiring where it plugs into the computer in about 15 months. Exactly the same issue I've had on every single one of them. The outer protective casing becomes detached from the plug, exposing the wiring. My wife's notebook sits on a stand and the cord is unplugged &/or moved "maybe" once a month. Mine, well, it gets used, being moved around unplugged/plugged multiple times a day. I don't agree, given even with my hard use that with a notebook these cords should be classified as a 1 yr life span cord and that's what they are. [/QUOTE]
