Apple AC Adapter A1036, M8482 For Ibook, Titanium, Powerbook G4, G3 Reviews

• Junk Scammer - Don't Buy This Product

  I purchased this adapter from this seller. Firstly, it was the wrong power setting, only 45W instead of the 65W which is sold in America. Secondly, the adapter which plugs into the computer was smaller than the orignial Apple adapter and cracked in only 4 months of usage. This product is being pawned off as a new power adapter, but is really just a refurbished adapter which is junk. I wasted 55 bucks on it, don't waste your money. Buy the adapter from Apple. Your extra 25 bucks will buy a product which may last years, instead of months.
  
  

• This is misleading

  
  By A3H48QR31Z3XF4 on 2006-12-01
  The product description says:
  "Original Brand New Apple Laptop AC Adapter with New Power Cord."
  
  To me that means it should come with the white square power brick and the white cord that hooks the power brick into the wall. When my order arrived, it contained the power brick but the cord included was black and clearly not made by apple. The black cord fits the power adapted however it does not complete the "sqaure" of the powerbrick. This whole thing was very misleading and now I see why it was so cheap. Buyer beware. I should have bought the official replacement from apple. My mistake.
  
  

• works when it wants to

  i thought i was getting a deal by not going to the mac store and purchasing this adapter for $85. however, i should have just went ahead and paid the extra $30 cause this one is a piece of crap. i don't even think it is really made by mac at all after comparing it to my old one. the markings on each vary in many ways including the apple logo and some of the print on the bottom. it really only works when it wants to after unplugging a few times and playing around with the part that plugs into the computer. and it didn't come with the white prongs that make it a square. only a long black cord. i tried to put the prongs from my old adapter on the new one, but they don't even fit properly. i figure if it they are both made by apple, it should have been a perfect fit, right? wrong. so sketchy. do yourself a favor, spend the extra $$$, go to the mac store.
  
  

• check your digits!!

  this power cord is a replacement for EARLY powerbook G4s (think G4 circa 2001... the dinosaurs).
  
  if your power cord plugs in the back of your G4 this is (probably) the replacement you want (45 watt). however, if you have a newer model with a plug on the side of the computer you probably need the 65 watt. the cords look identical but they are actually different sizes and therefore not compatible.
  
  the model number is on the adapter so double check to be sure you order the correct one!
  
  

• Beware

  This product says it works with Powerbook G4s. Not true, this is a 45W adapter Powerbook G4s need a 65W adapter.
  
  
• MISLEADING ITEM DISCRIPTION
  By A3UGYM3NK50C40 on 2008-06-18
  WHEN I READ THE ITEM DESCRIPTION AND VIEWED THE PHOTO OF THE ITEM IT MISLED ME TO BELIEVE THAT I WAS PURCHASING THE APPLE MODEL "BRICK" AC PLUG. WHEN IT ARRIVED IT WAS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE.THE ADAPTER THAT WAS SENT WORKS WITH MY COMPUTER HOWEVER IS A KNOCK OFF BRAND. BUYER BEWARE! IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT PLUG MADE BY APPLE DO NOT BUY THIS,!
  
  
• Misleading and inaccurate product listing!!
  By A84U8KUTWVNJZ on 2008-08-09
  I purchased this AC adapter as a replacement unit for my Apple iBook. I have news for you, this is not the right adapter. The original one is 65W, this one is 45W and inadequate for powering the iBook G4 14 inch. Mine died after just 5 months of use because of this fact, confirmed at the Apple Store's Genius Bar technician. Since this unit is only 45W it was struggling to power my computer until it finally fried. DO NOT BUY THIS AS AN ORIGINAL APPLE REPLACEMENT for an iBook laptop, IT IS NOT and you will have wasted your money.
  
  
• works, but it cracked
  By A2WDG9C1B34W9I on 2007-01-23
  you can't buy this from apple anymore since they changed the adapter for the new computers, so the fact that there are still sold was really great, but the plastic cracked about a week after I bought it. It still works but I wish it didn't crack
  
  
• A reliable adapter
  By A3DC32V1DI7W8K on 2006-12-07
  What a wonderful inexpensive product I have received and a great company I have encountered. The transaction was smooth, and I received the product quickly. Although the adapter doesn't come with the duck head, it only comes with the two-pin power cord. Anyway, even Apple suggested to use the two-pin cord versus the duck head, because the duck head might cause problems sometimes. Great price, great product, quick respond, fast shipping. I definitely will shop from this company again and will recommend to all of my friends.

  By A1M74EMYXLOA9W on 2007-09-27
  The adapter arrived promptly and in good working order. I guess my real gripe is with Apple for manufacturing a poorly designed product and then not providing a fix for the poor saps that are stuck with it...this is our 3rd replacement....

  This adapter for the Powerbook G4 worked for its purpose. I bought it for a friend, and he was able to get connected efficiently.

  I bought this product around the end of October. By the first of December the charger had stopped working. I only gave it one star because it never worked properly from the day i got it. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Its worth spending the extra money, just buy it from apple.

• It's Alright
  By A1G0SPZR7UN8EV on 2007-11-14
  it wasn't the product I ordered but, it works and charges my laptop. Wasn't too impressed just because it was the exact opposite of what I wanted.
  
  
• iBook G4 Power Adapter
  By A11KUT394BXSMV on 2007-12-18
  Exact same power adapter as from the Mac Store, but much cheaper. I destroyed mine accidentally, and this one works exactly the same and arrived quickly, saving me the trouble of dealing with a dead battery and no computer. It's a great replacement.

  I am very pleased with the item. I had a hard time finding it at Apple. This type of adapter has a tendency to break easy but it is the only one available for the Powerbook G4. I was very happy with the price of the item. Thank you!

  I always try to buy original parts/accessories, especially when it pertains to my electronics. I found this site to be the better choice not only for the product but also the price.

• Good For Two Years
  By A3B616KR15QMD9 on 2008-11-11
  These a super functional with the folding abilities but they only last for two years before you have to buy another one because the connection part to the computer gets loose over time. Since it's for Apple laptops it's a bit harder to shop around and trust a third party. This is my second one.
