pneves32110yIn 4 mates with MacBook Pro's in my class, 6 chargers where changed. So imagine how good they are 😂 -
ginjikoibito15610y@pneves ikr. i wonder when apple will do something about these awesome chargers. -
pneves32110y@snayski So you agree in just pay 1500€ for a 800€ specs computer and after one year you pay more 100€ to bought a new charger, just because they don't solve a bad usage design since the last, at least, 5 years? -
Swifticus215410yThat thing looks super abused. 😣 @Fixxel - I also have one that I've used for more than 4 years and use with a new MBP via an adapter now. Take good care of things and most of the time they last. -
xroad231410yYeah I wonder why so many people have issues with these chargers. Mines been chewed through by my cats and they've still lasted me years -
tytho229610yWhenever I get a new one, I put some electric tape around the easily worn out parts. Lasts until I get a new computer. -
drRoss484210yIf you look after these, they'll last you. But I imagine if you're always on the move, they'll die pretty quickly. -
ginjikoibito15610y@drRoss thats the problem. im always on the move. i bring this with me almost everyday. -
Elkstorm111210yGot to say the chargers wear out way faster than the actual computers. Mostly using them at home but they break anyway. But first one lasted 6 years or so which is not bad. But the recent design seems to actually work less good. Last one started breaking right away. -
pneves32110y@snayski it was bot me. I recognize the power of a MacBook pro, but I chose a Linux or even windows desktop.

After many attempts to fix this, hope this will be the last one. I really hate these apple chargers.
