Digital camera reviews of Apple Magsafe Airline Power Adapter MA598Z/A
Digital camera Review: Good, but depends on what airline / type of plane you fly I guess...
Summary: 4 Stars
The product works great, and I really love it. I just happened to get in unfortunate situations. I flew Continental... the smaller planes to fly within the U.S. don't even have plug ins (I flew from Minneapolis to Newark). Then I flew from Newark to Zurich, and the seats had the plug-ins, but for some reason mine and my husbands' next to me didn't work for some reason, although the green light was on saying they were working.. no power. We had to ask the people in front of us, and the cable was long enough so I could have it plugged in between their seats and power my Macbook.
On the way back from Zurich to Newark, our seats didnt have any power plug ins at all. I guess only certain sections of the plane do.
I guess when you make your reservations, you might want to require a seat with power plug ins just to make sure.
Great product, definately worth it.
Digital camera Review: Hey apple pay attention!
Summary: 1 Stars
Would not even give it 1 star but had to or amazon wouldnt let me post. This thing doesnt work on many airlines!! 13 hours between Tokyo and New York and my Mac pro works only 2 hours because I cant use the charger at 85 watts! The plane only allows 75 and your magsafe doesnt work on 777's! This is a modern plane! Get with it provide a solution or you lose me and many business people!Digital camera Review: No good for car
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought mine in a store, and it appears to have a 12V cigarette adapter. I get the product home and pull it out of the packaging and read the fine print. Only usable on some airlines. Will not work in cars.
Scanning the blogs, it seems that Apple isn't interested in providing a car adapter. They also don't seem to be interested in licensing the mag safe adapter so someone else can produce it.
I guess this is just my fault for buying into a closed proprietary platform.
I give it 2 stars cause airline adapters aren't very useful. And while it is not the product's fault, if you are looking for a car adapter, this is not for you!
Digital camera Review: Two faulty units
Summary: 3 Stars
I would have given this unit a "1", but I believe this unit will work ok. However the two cables I received were faulty. Not a good start. They would work as long as I tweaked the wire at the base of the magnet portion. Otherwise it didn't work. I am trying a third one soon, wish me luck...Digital camera Review: What planes does it work on?
Summary: 2 Stars
I traveled on four modern, recently commissioned planes, including the Boeing 777, and none of them had outlets for the Apple Airline Power Adapter. I assume it would work well, if I could plug it in. For me, however, a waste of $50.
