reall bad customer service. I called the company to get more information on a product no one answer for a week. I finally go a hold of someone, they told me that they don’t carry the product that it was spouse to be in stock per amazon. they advice me to by 45 watt, which I couldn’t find in amazon site. when I called back, they told me they don’t carry that one either. My whole experience with this company made me very suspecious of them. I don’t see them as a realable company.

I bought this to replace my original Apple power adapter, which had become frayed at the plug and was being held together by electrical tape, but then finally stopped charging. I plugged this new adapter into my Apple G4 PowerBook, and it still didn’t charge. Since I didn’t want to bother with returning this cheap item (and I thought maybe it was the computer itself), I removed the connection at the end of the cord and compared it to my old adapter, which was already torn apart.
This new adapter had half the amount of metal wire inside the cord as the Apple one, and it was in a different configuration. No wonder it didn’t work! Later that week I went to an Apple store and bought the real adapter – now my computer runs fine. Don’t try to save money by buying the cheap imitation. Just get what you need from Apple.

Nice cable. It does not have the orange and green light at the tip of the cable like the original so you have to check to see if charging is complete.

The cord that came with the Apple really sucked bad. We had to move it around a ton just to get a connection. And it wouldn’t stay in a wall socket at all. This new cord really does the trick!!!

Prompt delivery (3 days before estimated arrival date). Works well with my 14″ iBook G4. Good value for the money.
