Hi

Power my power supply for my macbook died and I need to get a new one. There are a number of 3rd party ones on ebay.They all sell for MUCH less than the 79$ apple one. I need to know what exactly I need to get. 60 watts??? 85 watts?? Ect?????


Advice?
 
You should buy the 60W Apple Adapter. The MagSafe connector is not licensed for third-party construction, so if you buy one you're not getting the real (read: safe) thing.
 
So Apple subcontacts magsafe for the supplies? But then (obviously) does not approve license of thier product under the magsafe name?

Any way,,,,60 but 85 "works"


Thanks!
