[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1535081, member: 24098"] I'll have to disagree with you there. I've owned 3 MacBook Pros and probably owned a total of 5 or 6 of these adapters as I've bought extra to have in multiple locations. In the years that I've owned Apple products, I've only had one fail completely - and that was the oldest unit, which had certainly lived out its useful lifespan. I'd say that with proper use (i.e. not over-tightening the cables when bundling them, not allowing animals access to them, keeping them and the MacBook/Air/Pro clean), they are entirely 'fit for purpose'. With that said, you do need to practice some sensible handling of these adapters. They are not ruggedized in any way, shape or form. Here's Apple guidelines for handling your MagSafe Adapter: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1630]Mac notebooks: Reducing cable strain on your MagSafe power adapter[/url] [/QUOTE]
