Digital camera reviews of Macally PS-AC4 AC Power Adapter for Apple G4
Digital camera Review: After a few months- broken
Summary: 1 Stars
This charger worked fine for a few months, but now charges so slowly that using the computer while it's charging drains the battery. Very frustrating. Very poor quality.Digital camera Review: All these adapters have a very short life...
Summary: 1 Stars
This adaptor and Apple's adaptor are not going to live long. They are all pretty worthless, except for the fact that you HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
I just buy the cheapest 65 watt adaptors I can find (for both 15" iBook G4 and 17" PowerBook G4) and plan to replace them within 6 months. Every now and then I find them for $20 - 40.00, and buy 2 to 4 at a time. Next time I'll buy a new laptop with the magnetic plug! Am very disappointed in Apple. I love my Mac, but quality is definitely going down.
Digital camera Review: Almost a good item.
Summary: 3 Stars
After buying two overpriced Apple original adapters that couldn't reach 6 months of use because they broke, I was determined to get me another brand for less money.
This Macally seemed the right choice, price was correct and the design was acceptable... But like I said in the title: Almost a good item, except fot one detail- This was supossed to be 65w and mine delivers 50w!!!! I still can use this but the battery takes almost an entire day to be complete full, and if the battery runs all the way down and you conect the adapter hoping to continue working you can't! The 50w are not enough to wake up the computer immediately after the battery was drained completely, you have to wait like 10 to 15 minutes to the battery to recharge a bit and then it wakes up.
My advice: buy this adapter and not apple original rip-off! But be aware this adapter is not perfect and has issues.
Digital camera Review: Alternate AC Adapter for Apple G3 iBook
Summary: 4 Stars
We found this adapter to be a satisfactory alternative to the more expensive Apple replacement adapter. We read other reviews that suggested it may be more durable as well. It doesn't light up around the plug-in but it does have a light on the brick which shows it is charging.Digital camera Review: Amazon did not send a Macally adapter...
Summary: 4 Stars
Please be sure when you order this product from Amazon that you are sent a Macally charger... I had initially ordered one, but there was a problem with the address they mailed it to, so they sent a second one. I ended up getting both... Both of them turned out to be Macally knock offs and wouldn't plug properly into my computer. Thankfully, I had ordered a second one from Maczone for our other computer and I was able to see that mine was different from that one. I double checked the receipt and packing form to make sure I hadn't made a mistake, and it had my product listed as the Macally PS-AC4 AC adapter. I hope that Amazon will fix this screw up...
The Macally AC Power adapter gets 4 stars
The Cheap knock off that doesn 't fit gets Zero stars...
