Advantages: sleek, modern, cord length can be changed

Disadvantages: it snapped and gave me an electric shock!

Like most apple products the Macbook White charger is sleek, shiny and a cute accessory. It comes with an extension cord so you can either have a long cable, approx 2 meters long or you can have the shorter length cable which is perfect if you are sat at your desk and don't move around with the Macbook. The chargers connector is magnetic and has a small LED light, this means that the charger stays connected and doesn't drop out ( unless you accidentally tug the wire or trip over it or move the laptop a bit too far then it disconnects) It also allows you to see the status of the battery life whilst charging without having to look on screen. If the light is orange/red it is still charging if it is green it is fully charged.

There are some negatives though unfortunately. I had my charger for 13 months when I noticed the rubber casing was starting to come away from the magnetic connector, a few weeks later and I noticed the LED light wasn't lit up, so I went to remove the charger and the wire came completely away from the connector and gave me an electric shock. This may just be a rare occasion of a bad batch but it was still rather frightening.

Other than that bad experience though I have found the Magsafe charger to be an absolutely failsafe piece of kit, perfect for both home use and travelling.
