Digital camera reviews of Macally PS-AC4 AC Power Adapter for Apple G4
Digital camera Review: AWESOME VALUE
Summary: 4 Stars
Works great, can't beat the value for the price paid...less than half the price of most chargers.Digital camera Review: Adapter For The People
Summary: 4 Stars
After my Apple adapter finally went to the big orchard in the sky, I was overwhelmed with grief coupled with the desire to not pay full price for its replacement. A quick trip to Amazon and some button mashing led me to an old ally (pun intended) Macally and the PS-AC4. Click. Purchase. Consumer joy. I would recommend this. True, it's not as aesthetically pleasing as Apple's OEM juicer, but hey, what is?Digital camera Review: Affordable

I wasn't sure this was spec'd for my G3 IBook, but another review and some looking into the hertz/watts thing convinced me. I'm hoping it'll be a backup for my G4 Powerbook too. It works fine. Seems to load up my battery as quickly as the original AC adapter; it's lighter and seems to be more compactable -- easier to carry around. I'd recommend it.Digital camera Review: Affordable & It Works Great!

When my OEM apple powercord finally broke for my old G3 labtop, I was scared it was going to cost a lot to purchase a new one. Thank goodness MacAlly now offers a powercord for Apple laptops. This cord works great and is much sturdier than the apple power cord. The cord is thicker than the original and the power box is no where near as heavy nor does it get as hot as Apple's. I can't believe I waited so long to get one. After having 3 cords fray on me ( I have more than one Apple lap top) I am so pleased to find an affordable replacement that's better than the original (albeit not as "cute.") But still this is a very good piece of equipment and a good price at $30. I eventually plan to replace my other computer's powercord, too, with one of these. I highly recommend this item. And with Amazon Prime I got it in a couple of days at no extra charge!Digital camera Review: After TWO Apple Cords lit on FIRE - MACALLY is AMAZING, Affordable, works fine with APPLE G3, I have TWO - Model PSA-C4 (AP5024)

WONDERFUL PRODUCT - BEST ON MARKET! I cannot tell you all how much I like EVERY Macally Product I own. As an avid Mac user ever since computers were born, I've always stood by Apple Products UNTIL both my G3 iBook and PowerBook Cords - because of the cheap and inferior design, became weak at the point of highest impact and - well, both cords shorted out within the first year and one of the cords actually shot sparks and flames into the air. If I had not been right there to see it, I would not have believed it - yet, I am sure the Fire Department would have. I would have had my entire home in flames as I was working on a large project with flammables everywhere - I was VERY LUCKY! The US Product Safety Commission hasn't done anything to help - I filed reports, and Apple is acutely aware of the problem, (they recalled the G4 cords I believe, not the G3 cords. I still have the singed/burned cords as proof.) Do yourself a favor - watch this around children and pets - and in the meantime - invest $30-$40 for a cord that has lasted me three years and is still going strong. I can't find them locally in Boston, they are always sold out, everywhere. That alone tells you something! Replace your cord before you have a fire - or it shorts out your computer - the surge supressor won't stop it. I love the Macally Price, the solid quality, the compact nature and again, the PRICE. APPLE wanted approx. $100 for another cheap flammable cord. I ALMOST became a Windows user over this, but Macally changed my mind - do not hesitate to buy this gem, or the USB 2.0 mini dock for those iPod users with a 1.0 USB port - I have had my investment returned many times over, and do not need additional FIRE INSURANCE for home now that I have a Macally AC Cord! Buy one before you have a problem! Forget any help from Apple. And - if your original cord is showing wear, or you are losing your charge - those were my first warnings - don't risk your home, or family. It happened to me and I am afraid for those who don't know what happened to me and MANY others! (PS: Tried Kensington at $79.00 and it fell out constantly - improper fit, another waste of $$$)
