Digital camera reviews of Macally PS-AC4 AC Power Adapter for Apple G4
Digital camera Review: A good replacement, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had no problems with this charger so far. I purchased it as a replacement to the Apple charger, which stopped working due to the cord being so bent that it shorted out. My only complaint with the Macally charger, is that it takes much longer to bring the computer to a full charge than the Apple charger does.Digital camera Review: A necessary alternative
Summary: 5 Stars
This Macally is the 3rd Apple OEM adapter that I've replaced, and it's both the cheapest and the most aesthetically pleasing alternative I've encountered. I'm not surprised to find entire websites devoted to lawsuits against Apple for the seventy-buck unrepairable gizmo that moreover likes to spark and short out circuits. One little tear in Apple's thin cord, or a bent pin in the plug, and say goodbye to the pricey little bugger.
Even if your original plug is still plugging away, my advice would be to purchase the Macally immediately and save Apple's cute little folding prong for the rare occasions when you're traveling and wish to conserve space. Otherwise, don't be too surprised and upset when you discover your computer time is limited to whatever charge you have remaining in your battery.
Digital camera Review: A wonderful alternative!

As with most of the others who have written reviews, the pin for my iBook cord had broken off. I ordered the Macally version to save some money and was a little scared it would not work. I am glad I was wrong! It charged up my iBook immediately and seems a lot sturdier than the Apple version.Digital camera Review: A worthy replacement
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're willing to trade a little style for some substance and save some money in the bargain, this is a very recommendable device. My Apple PowerBook power supply died in what is apparently typical fashion - sparking, crumbling wire where it meets the brick - and none of the Apple stores or CompUSAs in Atlanta had any in stock (which is curious in itself). I resorted to Amazon and decided to try this one out and I've been pretty happy with it. It seems sturdily constructed, and the breakaway cable is a surprisingly handy way to save on tangles. I do miss the plug-in charging light, but that's about it.Digital camera Review: AC Adapter
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful replacement adapter not made by Apple and is a great value for the dollar. This piece of equipment was less than 50% of the price of the Apple AC Adapter and is a stronger cable that will not bend and wear as quickly. I would recomend this AC Adapter over the original Adapter from Apple to everyone anytime.
