AC power adapter with MagSafe magnetic power connector. Fully tested and in perfect working condition.Compatible with APPLE 15" and 17" MacBook Pro LaptopsModel: A1172P/N: MA357LL/A, MA938LL/A and othersShipping: Same Day via USPSCustomer Review: Fake
Despite the amazon product page claiming it is an Apple product ("see other products by Apple" and the use of the original Apple part number) the product is not made by Apple, it is a very cheap knockoff. The unit I got was dirty/used, it did not appear new though it did have plastic reminiscent of the Apple stuff stuck to it. The power plug (shown in the inset) doesn't fit well on the unit. The little ears do not latch down, they just sort of flop around. The cord is very thin compared to the real Apple product. The mag-safe plug doesn't appear to fully mate with the MBP (17") but it does make contact and apparently charges. The light stays on after you disconnect it from the MBP unlike the Apple adapters. Assuming it doesn't explode my MBP, burn the house down (it does not carry the UL stamp), or leak a lot of RF noise (it is not FCC certified either despite a misleading sounding FCC like warning stamped on it) its probably fine for stationary use (mechanically its so flimsy I wouldn't want to take it on the road). Its gotten a lot hotter than the Apple adapter in the hour I've had it plugged in but otherwise is functional.
