 it does not include a plug August 21, 2010

The shipping is not very great. I've waited this produce for a long time. It is a used one which has some scratched on surface. It is not a big deal. The most worst thing is, I did not notice that this produce did not contain a plug as the picture shows. A little bit disappoint.
 Worked Great! August 21, 2010

This is exactly what we were looking for and worked perfectly with our laptop (and was only half the cost of a new one)! We bought an after market version from a different website first, but had to send it back because it was not compatible with our laptop. This worked as soon as we plugged in and it arrived really quickly too. Great purchase :)
 Adapter cables not very durable July 28, 2010
Eric Aderhold (Seattle, WA USA)
I got one of these adapters with the purchase of a MacBook Pro about 3½ years ago. The MagSafe feature is really handy. It probably saved my computer from a crash to the ground at least five times because someone tripped over the cord, bumped into it, etc. In each case the cord came unplugged from the computer (as it is designed to do) without pulling the machine down with it.
Unfortunately, the cables on this power supply are not very durable. A little over a year after I bought my Mac, the outer insulation on the attached cord separated from the power brick, exposing a few inches of the wire inside. I was able to put electrical tape around it. The adapter still functioned in this state for almost two years, but eventually the exposed wires shorted out and the adapter failed to charge the laptop reliably.
My girlfriend, who purchased her MacBook Pro at about the same time, experienced a similar problem, except it was the insulation around the AC extension cable that came apart. I replaced my faulty power adapter with a cheaper, generic model (MAGSAFE 85W Power Adapter for Apple MacBook Pro) that is still working fine after four months.
To increase the longevity of the power adapter, I recommend that you avoid winding the cord very tightly around the built-in winder clips.
No Problems July 14, 2010

I've had none of the problems mentioned by the people giving this power supply poor reviews. I've had good results, and I have two of them in use; one for two years. My birds have tried to make them fail by chewing on them but so far only been able to ding the outer insulation. We use our computers everyday, all over the house, and they go with us traveling. I especially like the mag safe connection. That thing has saved my computer several times. The only complaint I have is the price, but for something that performs so well I guess I can't complain.
There are a couple things you can do to reduce the possibility of insulation failure. There is a small sliding piece on the small part of the power cable that has a notch in it. You can make a small loop in the cable and click it into the notch. That will keep tension from being put on the cord. Another option is the magsaver, you can get it at [...]. It's a gadget that you attach to the end of the cable and it prevents kinking of the insulation.
The only reason I'm buying another adapter is to have a spare that I leave at the office.
Works well, but not forever July 10, 2010

I've been using this adaptor (with the long wall cord) for 3 years on my MacBook Pro. The only problem is that the transformer gets very hot and in time melts the rubber connection to the MagSafe adaptor. I've tried to mend this with electrical tape, but to no avail. Mac products, in general, seem to run too hot. On my MacBook Pro, I've installed a piece of software that speeds up the fan and this helps somewhat. But on the MagSafe power cord, there is no such easy solution.
Nevertheless, the cord lasted me 3 years, so I can't complain too much.
I plan to buy a new adaptor and use the extension cord from the old one to plug in the wall. I hope this works.
To extend the life of this adaptor, I would suggest that care is taken to never have the transformer covered by a pillow, magazine, or anything the interrupts air circulation. Also, take care that the fragile MagSafe adaptor line is never under or over the transformer, lest the heat melt the rubber.
