For all of you MacBook Pro users out there, you may notice after a while of winding/unwinding your power cable that the junction where the cable attaches to the brick becomes flimsy or even starts to strip. My wife has a MacBook Pro and after about 8 months of use you can see the effects of this starting. To help prevent this, learn to properly coil this cable.
This is very good information to follow because the replacement units are proprietary and not cheap ($79 at the time of this writing). Reading the reviews on the Apple site for these adapters seem to indicate this is a very common problem which may explain why the product has a 2.5/5 rating.
So take care of your MacBook Pro’s power adapter by properly coiling it and you should get a nice long life out of it.
