    Charging 15" through the Apple adapter

    Apple says that their Digital AV Multiport Adapter can pass through only 60W power, while the MBP 15" charger/cable output 87W.

    Cheapest place to buy a safe Magsafe 1 Power adapter

    So, I'm super uncomfortable buying third party power adapters (fire hazard and such) but I don't want to spend $80 on a new charger for my $300 computer. Any ideas on a safe third party alternative - or a "known good" seller on Amazon or Ebay? Thanks!

    Macbook Pro Charger

    I have a Macbook Pro Retina (had it for about 2 years). The charger has been playing up for a while and now it's not charging at all.
