Every Macbook that's entered my house over the last ~6 years (4 work, 2 personal) has had its adapter abused horribly, and none of them have frayed. Meanwhile they've saved all of them from multiple rapidly-getting-friendly-with-the-floor events (kids).
One thing I don't do is wrap the Magsafe end around those little prongs when I pack it. I just bunch it up roughly and toss it in the bag. Maybe that's what frays it?
- hn_user2 10y agoYeah wrapping around those prongs seems like the worst thing you can do to that tiny cable. And I don't blame the users for this. I just don't understand why they would put those prongs there.
- X-Istence 10y agoApple has a guide to show you how to best wrap the cable without straining it... i.e. Don't pull it tight. I still have power charges from my 2007 MacBook Pro that have not frayed and still look like new and with the adapter from MagSafe 1 to 2 still get used regularly.
