Only if you have the comp listed as compatable
Beware: some customers reviewed this product as compatible with other apple computers, besides those listed as compatible. I have an ibook G4 from 2005 and this charger did not work on my computer. It fit in the slot and my computer registered a charger, but it didn't ever begin charging. It is true that the real apple charger is $80 and is known to catch on fire, melt, etc, so I would recommend buying an alternate charger - just be sure it is compatible. Rating:

MUST READ: Adaptor doesn't deserve the "plug" I gave it in my earlier review!
Spoke praises too soon after owning the product for just a couple of days. Turned out, after about five days of use, the adaptor would not charge my battery -- I'd plug it in, but the battery icon and the a/c power icon (lightning bolt) kept flickering back and forth as the battery drained down. I guess in this case, "adaptor" is an acronym for A Disappointing Amazon Purchase To Obviously Return. I packed up the product, returned it, and was promptly sent a new one, which had the same exact problem after only one hour of use -- if you read the other one-star reviews here, you'll see that this is a very common problem with this product! I'm nutty enough to give it one more try, if they'll send me yet another adaptor -- will post again with review, and if the third one doesn't work, either, I believe the seller has a moral obligation to remove this product from Amazon. Oh, and for the record, I tried my old original Apple adaptor and, despite it's loose, wobbly connection, it charged my computer just fine! (So the problem is definitely their product, not my computer.) Rating:

Defective
I just got the adapter today, I plugged it into my iBook G4, and I was able to turn it on, but the battery doesn't charge, and after a minute or two, the screen dims and the laptop goes to sleep. Buyers beware! You might consider an official Apple adapter! Rating:

Almost a good item.
After buying two overpriced Apple original adapters that couldn't reach 6 months of use because they broke, I was determined to get me another brand for less money.
This Macally seemed the right choice, price was correct and the design was acceptable... But like I said in the title: Almost a good item, except fot one detail- This was supossed to be 65w and mine delivers 50w!!!! I still can use this but the battery takes almost an entire day to be complete full, and if the battery runs all the way down and you conect the adapter hoping to continue working you can't! The 50w are not enough to wake up the computer immediately after the battery was drained completely, you have to wait like 10 to 15 minutes to the battery to recharge a bit and then it wakes up.
My advice: buy this adapter and not apple original rip-off! But be aware this adapter is not perfect and has issues. Rating:

works just fine
and at half the cost that I paid for my LAST replacement power adapter (yes, I am on my THIRD) this is a bargain. It is indeed ugly, but its easy to tuck it away. |
