[QUOTE="rustyk123, post: 1001626, member: 99923"] Actually, apple has parts made in many different places the one that come with the computers are made in a different area then most of the one you can buy at any apple store. If you go online you can read the reviews in the store and most of them are stating that the cable becomes fried with some use, some are saying about a year. The ones that come with the computers do not do that. On the powerbook and ibook power supplies they were easy to tell if it was an original or apple replacement as the rubber at the end of one side of the wire did not have notches to help it bend on the replacements. No, I am not saying all of them are that way but a good number of them. You may have gotten a replacement that was made in the same area as the ones that come with the computer or one that was made better then most others. All I really am trying to say is if you are buying from some place like ebay, you will have the option to find the original and I always recommend going with original. If you are buying from apple, you will not have the option, to them the adapter is an adapter no matter who made each one. [/QUOTE]
