On receipt, this turns out to be an Apple-label product; I assume that SmartDisk bought up Apple's surplus stock and is selling them here. It works perfectly, BUT!!! This is a 45 watt charger. That means it's not appropriate for newer 15" and 17" PowerBooks (which use a 65W charger). I can't find this information in the online description, so I thought I'd add it here.

If you have an iBook or an older titanium PowerBook, order in confidence. If not... this will power your computer, OR charge it, but NOT both at the same time. Caveat emptor!

I ordered this unpictured SmartDisk product after breaking the fragile wire on my ultra-compact Apple AC adapter with its cute stow-away prongs that never seemed to seat properly in an electrical outlet. I liked the cheaper price of the SmartDisk along with the promise of more rugged construction. What I didn't expect was another Apple-designed product, very similar to the one I'm replacing. The only difference is a slightly heavier gauge wire and a far more practical plug--it fits securely in the outlet and doesn't take up two spaces. And it's porcelain white, just like a real Apple. Life is good.

(I realized a while back that the Powerbook 12" is not a "Titanium" machine, but the experts at Apple Support assure me not to worry about compatibility issues. In any case, I've noticed no problems after 8 months use.)

I got this because my dog managed to break the old AC adapter by yanking on the cord. It's perfect. This is an Apple-branded product and is identical to the adapter that came with my laptop (a titanium Powerbook), down to the green/amber light ring around the plug to indicate charge status. I'm very pleased with it.
