Digital camera reviews of Macally PS-AC4 AC Power Adapter for Apple G4
Digital camera Review: Better than Apple brand
Summary: 5 Stars
Got tired of replacing over priced adapters provided by Apple. They are truly the Achilles heal of the Apple portables. This baby does the job and doesn't feel like it will break if I use it a little roughly. Maybe not as COOL looking and no amber/green glowing light but I'll take durability/reliability AND about half the price anyday!Digital camera Review: Better than Mac's charger
Summary: 4 Stars
Like some other reviewers, the product I received did not look exactly like the one pictured. That's irritating. But, it functions perfectly, which is more than I can say for the expensive Mac chargers.
Mac stores will tell you it's a "myth" that their chargers break. Um... why is it then that me, my brother, three friends and several acquaintances have had this problem?
Digital camera Review: Better than the Apple OEM part
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall a better design. Two-prong outlet instead of three-prong on Apple's extension cord. Doesn't get nearly as hot as the Apple charger.
I would have given it 5 stars if it had:
- a light on the plug like the Apple charger, to show the charging status.
- better cord management; 10 feet of cord with only a velcro tie is a bit clumsy.
Digital camera Review: Better than the Apple adapter
Summary: 4 Stars
We got our PowerBook in July of 2003 and had to replace the Apple adapter twice. I finally got fed up with the flimsy cord and purchased this Macally PS-AC4 adapter and I am very happy with the quality of the product. We've been using this for months and the only complaint (which is why the 4 stars and not 5) is that we miss seeing the little light around the end of the cord that plugs into the PowerBook that indicates the charge status (the one that glows orange or green). I would highly recommend this replacement to anyone, as long as you can live without the status light. At this price, it is hands down a better alternative to the delivered cord.Digital camera Review: Better than the name brand
Summary: 5 Stars
I found myself needing a 4th charger. After trying pricy name brand chargers that kept breaking, I desided to check this one out for a third of the cost.
It works great and does not appear to have any of the same flaws. =)
