I didn't necessarily NEED a new charger, because my original one was working just fine.....albeit with some fraying :) I got this as a gift, and I'm very impressed with how Apple has improved it over the last couple of years! The cord is thicker - hopefully this will prevent fraying, the box part is smaller, and the magnetic end is angled to where it's even with the side of the computer. Feels like the magnet is possibly stronger now as well? I was pleasantly surprised to find that the charger also came with the extension. Knowing Apple, I was afraid they'd package and sell it separately to make more money...It's convenient to have two chargers now; but great to know that when my original one dies, I'll have a fantastic new backup.

I bought this adapter to replace the original one that came with my older MBP. Although Apple claims that this new adapter is fully compatible with the older adapter, it really isn't. Most of the time, this new adapter will not work with my MBP unless I remove and then reinsert the battery in my laptop first. Obviously, the laptop will need to be powered off in order to do that so this becomes very inconvenient if I'm in the middle of a session and my battery charge runs low since I'd have to quit the session, power off the computer, remove and then reinsert the battery just so I can plug the adapter and have it charge the battery. >:o(
I have a couple of the newer MBP (unibody) laptops and this adapter does work fine with those computers.
Another observation is that the AC cord and the wire that plug to the laptop are both stiff (not as flexible as the original adapter).

Comments about Apple 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter:
This adapter replaces one that came with a used MacBook Pro i5 that I purchased online from a private seller about a year ago. To my dismay, I recently discovered that the Apple adapter he provided was not the one originally shipped with my model; it is only 65 watts, not the specified 85 watts.As they say, you can't beat the real thing. Unlike many cheap knock-offs, this genuine Apple adapter guarantees me the full promised 85 watts and meets all required standards. I can say from experience that although it generally works, using an adapter with lower than speced output--even an Apple adapter--can in the long run shorten battery life. And if your battery is totally drained, it may not even boot the machine.According to my research, the B&H price on this item isn't currently bettered. So spend the money and get peace of mind.

Comments about Apple 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter:
Received original apple product as expected from a reputable company. This included the 2meter extension cord for the adapter. Quick shipping. B&H was the cheapest I could find to obtain this product. Many other sites advertising similar products at cheaper prices on further reading seem to ship poor quality adapters, sometimes not even the correct L shaped magnetic connection although the pictures on these sites show the new connecter.

Comments about Apple 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter:
I use this for when I'm at work and when I'm in my apartment, so it's just disconnect and go, and I don't have to take it with me in my backpack. It's nice because B&H ships to APOs for free, but Apple direct will not, so this is a great deal. As a bonus, it also comes with the full cord and not just the plug adapter.

Comments about Apple 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter:
Bought to have a cord at home and the office without to carry it around. As with most of Apple's stuff, it is great. The safety feature of being magnetic and pulling out easily has already saved my computer on one occasion and I image will be of great value when my 10-month old learns how to walk.

The new design is better than the original. The magnetic connector falls toward the back of the lap top which is better. The wires are stiffer but seem stronger than the original.

Comments about Apple 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter:
When my original power adapter died after 3+ years one night I needed a replacement. So before my battery died on my Macbook Pro I looked around the web and found B&H had MagSafe adapters for a good price. I saw others on the web that were refurbished adapters but this wasn't one of those. I was a little worried after reading about problems with the new redesigned MagSafe adapters not working with older Macbook pro's (pre unibody) but I bought it anyway. It works as advertised charging my Macbook Pro right up.

Comments about Apple 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter:
My original adapter started shorting out after over a year of heavy abuse. First I tried the refurb from another "apple" 3rd party site...but that thing was total fail- dead on arrival..so i decided to stick with the genuine article - this is a NEW APPLE adapter in original Apple packaging, and b&h has the lowest price i could find. Good service and fast shipping. Done and done.

Comments about Apple 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter:
I had bought a third-party adapter figuring they're all the same. It lasted two months. I bought this Apple one, and so far so good. It's better constructed than the one that originally came with my macbook pro.
This one works fine for older macbook pro.

Comments about Apple 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter:
My original power adapter died after about 3 years so I needed a replacement. B&H had the best price by about $15 so it was a no-brainer. My MBP is once again charging when needed and it appears to be charging even faster with the new adapter.
