Some of these come with a brown box and have all the little details (stamped apple logo, L-shape plug tip..etc) as my OEM charger. Need one for my 2011 Macbook Air 13".




What do you guys think?

You should assume any "genuine" Magsafe charger sold on eBay is counterfeit. Fakes are rampant, and I'd only buy one direct from Apple, even knowing how expensive they are.

Looking at the pictures closely, at least one of them (I think the first one linked) appears to come with suspicious-looking documentation. That's nothing I've seen from Apple before.
The one with the Apple retail box may be more legitimate.

I've seen pictures of counterfeit boxes as well, so I wouldn't trust that either. And yeah that documentation on that first one is definitely not legitimate.
