I about to order a 3rd one in 15 months. I love my Mac, but not the power cord. On the first one, the wire detached from the plastic piece that connects to the computer. After that, I made sure to use the plastic piece to remove it as recommended by Apple. On the second one, the magnetic piece started to pull out of the plastic housing. Now the wire has come loose again & it doesn't charge at all.
I don't move my laptop around a lot, so the cord usually stays plugged in. I have tripped on it before-but isn't that the point of the magnetic connection? This should not fall apart with normal use. I'm glad the BestBuy extended warranty I purchased covers this, otherwise I would be out an additional $160.
