I'm still using a laptop with a MagSafe charger and have never seen the connector becoming unreliable (nor do I know anyone has had this issue).

- zerkten 7y agoThe little MagSafe 1 to 2 adapters have been problematic for me and others, but the original chargers are not something I've heard problems about. I've not been able to find out what happens with the adapters, but it was surprising how many I went through.
