      Poor design choices + nickel and diming = unhappy customer

      As a longtime Apple enthusiast, I tend to go easy on Apple when it comes to controversial design decisions. However, this is getting out of hand. 1) Apple dropp As a longtime Apple enthusiast, I tend to go easy on Apple when it comes to controversial design decisions. However, this is getting out of hand. 1) Apple dropped all cable management for this new adapter design. This time around, there are no fold out clips to wrap the cable around the adapter and there is no clip on the cable itself to facilitate wrapping it up. I have to use a black Velcro strap every time I'm done using it and want to securely stow it in my bag, which is exactly the opposite of the simple yet functional design aesthetic I thought Apple strived for. 2) There is no charging indicator / status light on the new AC Adapters. As a result, I have to log in to the laptop and check the battery meter to monitor progress. 3) There is no reasonable justification for charging $79 for an "extra" AC adapter AND forcing me to pay another $19 for the required charging cable that used to be included (and permanently affixed) to previous iterations of Apple AC adapters. That's right folks, for $79 you get only the power brick, the charging cable (seems like an obvious requirement) that runs between the brick and the laptop is NOT included! Once you throw that in, you're looking at almost $100 to keep a backup power cord in your laptop bag. Apple somehow managed to ruin every single aspect of what used to be an elegant design. Best of all, they charge more for the privilege of using it.

      Too bulky and too overpriced

      This thing works but it's really ridiculous that you need to spend 80 dollars on a power adapter that doesn't even include the charging cable. Also, since the L This thing works but it's really ridiculous that you need to spend 80 dollars on a power adapter that doesn't even include the charging cable. Also, since the LED indicator is gone as well there is no way to know if your laptop is charging unless you heard the sound it makes when you plug it in. Overall, its really not the best but its what you need to power your device.

      As if all the dongles weren't enough

      Not including a simple 2 meter USB C cable with an $80 charger is beyond stupid. It's almost as if they have contempt for their own customers.

      Frustrating, doesn't stay in outlets

      I've had this adapter for months and it's endlessly frustrating. It is very difficult to get it to stay in an outlet, it always falls out because the prongs are I've had this adapter for months and it's endlessly frustrating. It is very difficult to get it to stay in an outlet, it always falls out because the prongs are too small and fold in too easily and the block is heavy. I've had my MacBook die in class simply because this charging adapter is so useless. I can only use it when plugged into a power strip that's laying on a table or the ground so that gravity doesn't pull the adapter out of the outlet. I'm going to have to start carrying around a roll of tape so that it doesn't fall out of wall outlets, which is absolutely ridiculous. Terrible product design. On a positive note, it does charge my laptop quite quickly.

      Does what it needs to do for a lot of money

      Like others have said, no cable included and it is more than usual. Lots of other choices out there, I returned it, would've been more useful if it had more tha Like others have said, no cable included and it is more than usual. Lots of other choices out there, I returned it, would've been more useful if it had more than one output.

      Bad bad bad.

      Stops working after a year. This is not the first time I have had to buy a new one. It is incredibly inconvenient as it keeps falling off the power outlet as It Stops working after a year. This is not the first time I have had to buy a new one. It is incredibly inconvenient as it keeps falling off the power outlet as It is too heavy and it does not come with an extra cable. Overheats on every charge. For the care that Apple says it puts in its products, this charger is poorly designed and extremely low quality. If not for the quality of their computers, I would have switched brands a long time ago.
