I love my mac pro, but the power cord seems to be the weak link. After three years, I'm on my third power cord, at eighty bucks a hit. I love the magnetic attachment. I am reassured that a careless passerby is less likely to pull the laptop off the table if they don't see the cord, as it will disconnect from it's magnetic socket. However, the cords are very thin, with a very thin protective coating, and mine have seemed susceptible: to pets, furniture, vaccuums, chair legs...resulting in small microtears which ultimately disrupt the integrity of the cord and necessitate their replacement within a year. Over time, the power becomes spotty, and the cord starts to overheat at the connection. At eighty bucks each, these seem like a lot of problems for a necessary component.
What's great about it: This charger is fast and easy, with it's magnetic attachment
