Good and Cheap 
2008-05-18
the power-cord works just fine, no LCD light which isn't a big issue. fits just as well as Mac's original but seems a little sturdier. for its price it works great :)
replacement 
2008-04-22
Bought this to replace the original cable for my ibook... the original began fraying and breaking down after only a few months... made very cheaply.
This product, however, is very durable and I am more than pleased with my purchase.
Better than nothing?

Well, it's not the cutie lil charger that comes with the ibook, but it'll get you by for a little while, and when you have to replace it within six months you'll be glad you didn't pay $75 for the one on macstore, which lasts about the same amount of time. Honestly, when is someone going to figure out a way to make these LAST? This is my second replacement! The original died due to the flimsy little cable wearing clean through at the point where it bends away from the insertion tip, and the second just....died. Little blue light went out and that was it. Really, these things totally bite, so you might as well get the cheapest one you can, and before you spend your time on a mad search of eBay, macstore, etc. you should know there are only three or four different types out there, including the WAY too expensive original, and this really is the cheapest you'll find.
twice as useful for 1/4 the price 2008-01-12
After having had to replace the adapter on this iBook twice in 4 years, I looked for something less expensive. I found this. Unlike someone else's experience, the brick part doesn't get overly warm. It doesn't have the little LED light telling you if the battery is charged or charging, but one can see that on the machine itself. Unlike Apple's theoretically artistic, but apparently poorly made adapter, they have the intelligence to put the brick in the middle so that the plug only takes up one outlet on a surge protector.
With a cost of $23.00 vs. Apple's $79.00 one, I'll quite happily do without the little feet things that I've never used as well as the unnecessary LED light.
Sigh,it shows what nice things could be done if Apple didn't lock everyone into their hardware. 1/4 the price, perhaps not quite as good looking, but for my purposes, more convenient.
Works great 2007-12-26
This adapter has worked great for me. Can't beat it for the money. Saved me a bundle rather than paying out the nose getting one from Apple.
Worked for 3 months, don't waste your money. 2007-11-29

bad customer service 
2007-10-16
reall bad customer service. I called the company to get more information on a product no one answer for a week. I finally go a hold of someone, they told me that they don't carry the product that it was spouse to be in stock per amazon. they advice me to by 45 watt, which I couldn't find in amazon site. when I called back, they told me they don't carry that one either. My whole experience with this company made me very suspecious of them. I don't see them as a realable company.
Great option 2007-09-16
It looks like a PC but white, its not as fancy as the apple one, but for the price its a very good thing to buy, its more strong, cables are more resistant. It doesnt have the light at the lapconnector, but what your looking for with this charger is funccionallity and nothing else.
Beware! 2007-08-24
Watch out for these third party G4/iBook power adapters. I don't know of anyway to tell how well the connector is made. The tip section of the two part inner plug of the adapter CAME OFF inside my iBook! My iBook will no longer charge. The power jack on my iBook is ruined. For most iBook users this would mean that their whole iBook is ruined, because you would not want to pay the labor to fix it. Fortunaly I am comfortable with tearing iBooks into a million pieces and repairing them. I'm now buying a used power plug receptical with board part off of ebay ($10), and I will tear the iBook into a million pieces and spend four or five hours of my time to repair this.
A good bargain. 2007-08-12
In the past I paid over $80 for the Apple original equipment, only to discover that the replacement was just as poor as the first Apple charger that came with my laptop. My first original-equipment charger burned out; the second one got frayed wiring after a year or so of normal use. A third one (for a second Mac laptop) only works if I clamp pressure on the adaptor.
So I was happy to see that I could buy this "off brand" at a cheaper price. I was apprehensive about the quality, but so far it's worked great. In fact, I have two of them, one for each laptop, in fact. At less than a third of the price I previously paid for the OEM version. See: Apple Extra Portable 65W Power Adapter (for iBook and PowerBook G4). Although the price has come down on the OEM version, it's still more than double what this off-brand costs.
The only notable differences are that this adpater is slightly larger (but not a lot, so it's not a big deal) and when you plug it into the side of your laptop you don't get that glowing orange or green light on the input plug to tell you it's charging or complete. Instead, there is just a tiny, weak green LCD light on the adaptor box. Given the savings, and the poor quality of the original, who's complaining?
