Reliable. low cost power adapter [Posted on 2007-09-10]
I was a little surprised to see the negative reviews on this product. I bought mine after pricing other units and finding this one to be the lowest cost. Others questioned its reliability, so I was concerned about taking this on a camping trip. But switching between the car and ac adapter was easy and my partner & I ran both our iBooks and her iPod from the one adapter over a two week trip. It's been great. I use it all the time now.
Maintaining connection is tricky [Posted on 2007-09-12]
I bought this unit when my other travel adapter would not maintain a connection. I still have the problem with this unit, though it is not quite so extreme. The tip will make a connection only when it is in precisely the proper position. I have to secure the cord under my Al PowerBook so it doesn't move, then rotate the tip and bend the cord until a connection is made--and watch for several seconds to be sure the connection is maintained. Without an indicator light on the tip, the only way I can be sure I still have a connection is by continually looking at the battery indicator on the menu bar. Many times I don't notice I have lost the connection until I get a low battery warning. Never a problem with the original Apple adapter. I use this adapter only because my setup makes it very inconvenient to take the Apple adapter with me.
Poor quality [Posted on 2008-03-30]
I bought this product a while back and the N23 tip broke inside my computer. I was able to retrieve it, and bought another whole unit while traveling. The tip also broke on this new unit and now I cannot find any replacement for the now infamous Smartip N23, not even at Kensington. Spent over $150.00 on these two units and they are now no more than paperweights. Mediocre quality and no customer support whatsoever. Back to Apple where at least their customer satisfaction is far superior.

good product, I bought it for the apple tips. They dont make em' any more so I bought the whole adapter. In fact, I should buy another.
Perfect [Posted on 2008-10-07]
I bought the identical product @ CompUSA (when the actual stores were still around) for $150.00. I found the exact same product on Amazon in new condition for $29.99. Wow talk about price gouging, the F*$#@%@ should be sued. Awesome product, awesome price.
