Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this adapter approximately four months before the cable broke just below the tip that plugs into the laptop. The reason it broke so easily is that the power wires themselves are tiny, and the retractable spring-spools tend to keep the wires taught at a right angle from the tip. Use the adapter daily, and it is getting bent back and forth at that point. Eventually, the copper inside breaks.
The really unfortunate part of that is that I could have salvaged it with a simple splice and repair, if it weren't prone to breaking right at the tip, where you can't strip back enough insulation to reveal a useful amount of copper to reconnect.
But you shouldn't have to repair a power cord you paid good money for (I paid $59.99 for this item, by the way). It should last a long time. This one is just too flimsy to recommend at any price.

The ReTrak retractable Universal Notebook Charger is a great replacement or upgrade for almost any notebook computer. The retractable cable is great for travel yet easily expands to the desired length without the clutter of unwanted cable. Neat.
