Super Members BTM_Pix Posted August 3, 2019 Super Members Share Posted August 3, 2019 From my experience, the really cheap ones are all as good/shit as each other so my rule of thumb is to get the one with the largest number of positive reviews and the least number of reported fires. This one fits the bill in that respect. https://www.amazon.co.uk/SIXNWELL-Compatible-Macbook-Charger-Magsafe/dp/B07R3T53YG kaylee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 The original is... 69 bucks? That ain't too bad. I bought an extra original charger for my ASUS for around 100 (I wanted official and these universal all brand I don't really trust that much). If I look through all Amazon listings they all sound kinda dodgy. Non of the usual suspects in charging that I know (mostly USB chargers/cables/powerbanks) pop up (with well-recognized stores on AliExpress (and usually on Amazon too): Anker, Blitzwolf, ROCK, UGreen, Vinsic, Baseus, Orico, Tronsmart, Flovme, Mcdodo, WSKEN, USAMS etc). I only see one of the brand 'Rocketek' which I have seen around before and do as well have their own flagship store on AliExpress (which is usually a good indication they're quite legit: https://rocketek.aliexpress.com . The one on Amazon.com however is a 45W version. The one I see on the Amazon.de site is 85W. Can't seem to find it back on AliExpress though... Don't have any Apple products myself. Don't have any experience with Rocketek. So... you're on your own, but atleast some pointers, eh? Would be careful going brandless/extremely cheap. Same goes for camera batteries. A renowned B or even C-brand without all the premium, sure. An X, Y or Z-brand selling them for peanuts? Eh... might want to skip 'em. I've had bad experiences cheaping out on that kind of stuff. Really... whether it's a laptop or a camera, they're friggin' expensive. I personally don't feel like cheapskating it on powersupply risking it all... (had something similar to the following happen with DSTE batteries for my GH2) Don't want to get situations like that now... stay safe out there webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Yeah and buy it from the Apple store. Even more than half the ones that say they are Real Apple ones on eBay, Amazon are cheap knockoffs. Huge scam on those sites. Cinegain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Punk Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 When it comes to anything Apple power/ charger related - It is often best to avoid the cheap Chinese knockoffs. Always better to go for the expensive versions made in the factory next door. kaylee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Half the whole damn world has turned into a rip off, knockoff bunch of Whores. Never make me King I can tell you that. The over population problem would be solved quickly. kaylee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
