Great idea, I didn't have a Macbook long enough to have any issues with it.

Big problem with modern Apple is they can't come up with ideas like that anymore. Now it seems like they just browse Mac Rumors and throw on whatever features everyone is speculating the next phone will have.

I will admit I have only owned one iPod Touch and a few pairs of earbuds as far as Apple stuff goes, but the end fray and yellow from normal use.. very strange and upsetting

just knowing which way was up was kind of hard on it since it'd rotate under your hand, being completely round
it was also not designed to be held in the hand at all

at the time, I thought it looked cool as fuck though
got an old G3 iMac from an old family friend sometime in 2008 or so, god what a shit mouse
and now I'm trying to remember why the hell I didn't replace it first thing

the charger cord feels cheap and flimsy but I like the design itself.

Too bad nearly every one of the dedicated GPUs in in this series are defective.

What shitty about it?

charges the computer, pops out if you tip on the cord, had nifty tabs to wind the cord on.

Why do you hate things you cant afford?
>>
It's a great charger. The shit part is that it's $70.
>>
You probably can find a bunch of these chargers with broken wires, then rewire and solder them if you know how. Then you can go sell them, because they cost an insane amount new from apple.

hey guys, did you know apple makes the worst laptops in history?

You were clearly born after 1997. Every charger used to be unique to the device you were using and would often change when a new model came out.

Well it does, but OK.

Why don't you spend 2 minutes reading why it does that? You don't even notice the difference after a couple of hours.

And of course Chrome is sitting there guzzling more electricity than the average mcdonalds customer drinks diet coke.

yeah, but it can still appnap if it's idle for a while.


safari, on the other hand, uses quite a small amount of power. but, and this is an annoying 'but', youtube videos are all garbled because of the way it tries to save battery life.

still, battery life on rMBP 15" from 2013 reporting in

Bullshit. Macbook air here, I have to replace the thing every two months.
I've had this thing for nearly three years and apple still hasn't changed the design one fucking bit. Same bullshit faux strain relief.

Have you tried wrapping the part that frays in electrical tape or duct tape or something for some reinforcement? Seems like it would save you some hassle.

Take better care of your shit.

I've owned about 8 various Magsafe adapters over the years, and each of them looked nearly brand new when I sold them on, even the original T-style Magsafe that came with the original plastic Macbook.

I've got 2 in the house at the moment, both around 3 years old, not a mark on either.
>>
>>54872266
can confirm this. Not super careful with my chargers, and they've seen a hell of a lot of use, but I've gone through 2, on my 3rd with my 5 year old mbp. NEVER had this happen with any charger before.
>>
>>54864234
Easy, you resist the urge to yank on the cable to unplug it. Instead you grasp the connector.

T. Person who has never had a cable break, EVER.
>>
>>54865551
soldering them is easy
'opening them without snapping the plastic because apple glues them shut' is the hard part

Oh here look, this is what happened to 100% of Windows PC optical drives, because non-Apple users are so dumb LOL.

I've frayed the charging port side but never the side that goes into the brick. I would assume that I would have to use a heatgun to open it, or just break the thing open.
