5.0 out of 5 starsWhat it lacks in design it makes up for in durability
By knucklestar on December 4, 2004
Verified Purchase
At less than half the price of an Apple charger, Macally is a nice alternative. When my ibook charger's cord broke, I wanted to find something more durable. I miss the little feet to wrap the cord around, but the part that connects to the ibook/powerbook is thicker than Apple's and thus doesn't need quite as much care. Macally's charger is also white, which is a pleasant bonus, and comes with a blue light on the brick to let you know it's charging. Here's the basic breakdown.

Macally:

lighter

cheaper

more durable

same 120/240 voltage

same length (when compared to Apple's w/ the extension plug)

no feet

no charging light around rim of plug

no plastic cover for plug tip (though the Apple one fits on it perfectly)

the connection to the brick is not as sturdy because Apple's is built in and Macally's is plugged in, though it's never come out unexpectedly because the brick is so light.

doesn't get as hot as Apple's charger

the wall plug is not grounded

If you need an extra or replacement charger and don't mind the difference in design then this is a great purchase.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood alternative to the OEM charger.
By Pianoboy on December 28, 2004
Verified Purchase
The power cords for Powerbooks and IBooks, though aesthetically lovely, are prone to damage. This is a good replacement unit, although it lacks the amber/green LED charging indicator ring around the connector. Makes up for it in durability and value (less than half the cost of Apple's - yikes!). I'm using this charger with my 12" 867Mhz G4 with fine results.

4.0 out of 5 starsFor Titanium Powerbooks Only!
By A. Roberts on August 17, 2006
This adapter only puts out 48 watts and is not for Aluminum Powerbooks. I am a technically minded person and I still got duped in to buying this because it doesn't say this anywhere on this page.

5.0 out of 5 starsDoes the job at a great price
By Sean Harding on May 9, 2006
Verified Purchase
I now have two of these -- one for my Aluminum Powerbook, and one for my wife's Titanium Powerbook. They work great. The connection actually seems more solid than the one from the Apple version, and these are a heck of a lot cheaper. No, they don't have the nice status light or the elegant industrial design. But they power the laptops reliably, which is more than I can say for the Apple adapters we have!

1.0 out of 5 starsBeware of design change
By L. Clair on April 30, 2008
Verified Purchase
This is my second PS-AC4. The first was exactly as pictured here and on the MacAlly website. It worked great and I would highly recommend it (I purchased it about 3 yrs. ago). However, the most recent one (ordered from Amazon) has been redesigned. There is no blue light, it's slightly smaller in size and DOESN'T work with the G4 iBook.

I only use this power supply when I am on the road, so I only used it a couple times in the two weeks I've had it. Recently I was doing a Keynote presentation and noticed the iBook switching from battery to power supply every second and repeating, endlessly. I reset the Power Management Unit (PMU) on the iBook, but that didn't solve the problem. When I contacted MacAlly, they informed me that this model does not work with the G4 iBook. I was told "You need to return it back to your vendor for refund or different brand."

Both MacAlly and Amazon do not reflect this new information on their website. MacAlly's site even says it's recommended for iBook users.

I am still in the process of getting this issue resolved. My advice after messing around with 3rd party power supplies...buy a genuine Apple as a replacement. It's worth the money in the long run.

5.0 out of 5 starsBreif Review of the Powerbook / Ibook AC Adapter
By Scott Park on May 13, 2006
Verified Purchase
Initially I was going to give this power adapter 4 stars because it lacks that charge light that the Apple adapters have, but you just can't beat the price. It is an ideal and inexpensive replacement or companion adapter. You could by a few of these for the cost of just one from Apple. The only thing to take notice is that it may not charge a laptop as quickly as the standard Apple power adapter because of it's lower wattage.

Pros:

- Inexpensive

- Inexpensive

- Inexpensive

- Durable

- Velcro cord wrap

Cons:

- No charge status light

- Lower wattage then Apple adapter

- Slightly larger then the standard Apple adapter

4.0 out of 5 starsSome improvements
By Nick Whittredge on May 30, 2006
pros-

-CHEAP. Costs at least $50 less than the Apple product.

-more durable than Apple. It feels like you could really smash around the AC adapter and it would still be OK. The apple one not as much. The connector to the laptop is an improvement, but is still not great.

-Very light, easy to carry around.

Cons-

-not the nice design features of apple - the light at the tip of the cord, the exchangeable plug, the overall appearance etc. (but who cares?) Also doesn't have a three-pronged plug

-Does not charge computer as fast as apple, however not significant. Due to lower wattage.

-Some heat issues- the adapter seemed to be as hot as or hotter than the Apple one, and it heats my computer up more than the apple one did. I haven't seen this in other reviews though, so it may be my computer or something.

In general a good product. It seems fairly well made and will probably last you longer than your apple charger. If you're looking to replace yours, this will do the job fine, plus for $50 less you can't go wrong.
