lemon! 
2008-07-09
just got this charger yesterday to replace my broken apple charger.
All this charger does is allow me to turn on the computer (sometimes), it does NOT charger my powerbook g4.
Only if you have the comp listed as compatable 
2008-07-08
Beware: some customers reviewed this product as compatible with other apple computers, besides those listed as compatible. I have an ibook G4 from 2005 and this charger did not work on my computer. It fit in the slot and my computer registered a charger, but it didn't ever begin charging. It is true that the real apple charger is $80 and is known to catch on fire, melt, etc, so I would recommend buying an alternate charger - just be sure it is compatible.
MUST READ: Adaptor doesn't deserve the "plug" I gave it in my earlier review! 2008-07-02
Spoke praises too soon after owning the product for just a couple of days. Turned out, after about five days of use, the adaptor would not charge my battery -- I'd plug it in, but the battery icon and the a/c power icon (lightning bolt) kept flickering back and forth as the battery drained down. I guess in this case, "adaptor" is an acronym for A Disappointing Amazon Purchase To Obviously Return. I packed up the product, returned it, and was promptly sent a new one, which had the same exact problem after only one hour of use -- if you read the other one-star reviews here, you'll see that this is a very common problem with this product! I'm nutty enough to give it one more try, if they'll send me yet another adaptor -- will post again with review, and if the third one doesn't work, either, I believe the seller has a moral obligation to remove this product from Amazon. Oh, and for the record, I tried my old original Apple adaptor and, despite it's loose, wobbly connection, it charged my computer just fine! (So the problem is definitely their product, not my computer.)
Defective 2008-07-01
I just got the adapter today, I plugged it into my iBook G4, and I was able to turn it on, but the battery doesn't charge, and after a minute or two, the screen dims and the laptop goes to sleep. Buyers beware! You might consider an official Apple adapter!
Almost a good item. 2008-06-29
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.
Not for iBook G4 
2008-07-24
Be careful. The box packing for this says it works with a PowerBook G4 or an iBook G3. It will not work for a iBook G4. The Amazon product page does not make that clear.
Level 2 NOC tech 2008-07-22
its is unclear rather this really works with G4 Powerbook. the connector that plugs in to the powerbook fits , but the connection itself is unstable and easily disrupted by just a little wiggle or touch of the cable or connector. If you are looking for a replacement cable go with Apple branded. that one works .
Cheap, Doesn't charge, dangerous, power cord 2008-07-20
This is one of the most poorly designed and implemented chargers around. I own a 15" Powerbook G4 (which this is listed as being compatible with).
The problem is that this isn't actually a 65watt power cord... so don't expect to use your computer while it's charging... and don't expect to be able to touch the "brick" as it's plugged in, you'll burn yourself.
I've returned this item and got a charger from another company for just a few dollars more that works a TON better.
Macally Power cord 2008-07-15
Macally is a terrible company. NOT worth the money you save. I recently bought a power cord thru them that emits an electrical current thru my computer. They will only send me a replacement but won't give me my money back. Not worth the risk. Buy Mac!

Only lasts 6 months 2008-07-10
I bought this power adapter and it worked just fine at first. I took good care of it and after about six months it just stopped working.
