1.0 out of 5 stars Not As Advertised - This is NOT an Apple Manufactured Unit, November 23, 2009

The picture of the power adapter on the Amazon web page is of an Apple manufactured unit. What was shipped to me is a generic "power brick" style adapter, definitely NOT made by Apple. If you are expecting an Apple branded unit, do not order this one. Deceptive and misleading presentation by Amazon.

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS THING IS A FIRE HAZARD!!, October 21, 2009

I have two Powerbook G4s. Great machines!! Bought them both used in 2006. Three years later, they're both doing fine. And I'm a power user.

Over the same three years, I have had to purchase about 4 of these Apple Power Adaptors (part M8943LL/A).

Basically the same thing would happen--after 6-8 months, the part the connected to the laptop would get extremely hot (seriously, you could hot keep your hand on it for more than a second), the cable would fray and no power would be supplied. Before this happened, I'd have to twist and turn the connector and listen for a disturbing "spark" noise to before it would provide power.

2 of these things actually started smoking before they went dead. One of them burned a hole into my sofa. Luckily I was home to catch it or there would have been a major fire.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. IT IS DANGEROUS.

There are SEVERAL third party solutions, many here on Amazon. Apple could have recaptured this money by being a stand up company and making a better replacement adaptor. But, as they've recently shown, they have stars in their eyes due to the success of iPod and iPhone and no longer care about supporting their legacy users.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does the job, October 30, 2009

This product works fine and is probably worth the price. The drawbacks: 1) the cord is very short, much shorter than the Apple one it replaces; 2) It does not have the light-up feature that tells you when the computer is charging and when it is fully charged; 3) It takes the computer a minute to recognize it is charging, which is fine. But if your power goes all the way down and the computer goes into sleep mode and THEN you plug it in, it takes 5 minutes to recognize that there is charge enough to start out of sleep mode. I never had this problem with the original cord.
