[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 996247, member: 24098"] Keep in mind that the MagSafe connector is patented. And I would have a hard time believing that Apple licensed it out to any of the Chinese knock-off manufacturers who are building them wholesale for $5 (if you can buy them on eBay for $20, chances are there's a 75% markup). Not that I agree with it, but I can believe that Apple would take issue with any warranty claims that arose as the result of some knock-off adapter being used with the system. [/QUOTE]
