[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1535543, member: 24160"] After that one soaks in, I'll tell the rest of it. Have to admit, I am not ez on these cables. Probably 80%+ of my use I'm sitting in a recliner with it plugged in. It gets moved back and forth from lap to one arm of the chair to lap to other arm to lap to side table... Consequently, the cable pretty much stays bent where it meets the connector. Between moving it around a lot, the dog jumping on the chair, the magsafe is a great feature. Pretty sure my notebooks would end up on the floor quite often if not for that. While I've never had to replace any other cables as often as this one, I've also never owned any that take the abuse these do either. While I'm replacing them once a year, my best guess - that magsafe cable has been yanked off of it at least 350 times - maybe more. Hence, why I can't take sides one way or the other. For my use and considering my wife is still on her original cable now 6 years later, I really can't blame Apple for mine needing to be replaced. [/QUOTE]
