Quick Review: You probably shouldn’t buy this awesome MacBook Pro MagSafe 2/ 5-port USB Charger<div class="feat-image">
</div>
<p>After a lot of abuse, my MacBook Pro’s 85W
MagSafe 2 adapter finally died last week. Often Apple adapters fray at joints and this one did to an insane degree but somehow it kept working for 3 years through tons of travel, work and even some fun.</p>

<p>So what to do? Typically I’d buy a new
Apple Magsafe 2 adapter. But clearly Apple has some redesigned
MacBook/Pro/Airs coming
later this month and they will likely be charged via USB-C, at least in some cases. So that means I only need MagSafe to power this 2013 MacBook Pro for at least a few more weeks before it gets relegated to backup machine, kid’s computer or sold off when I get Apple’s new OLED/USB-C creation.</p>
<p>So I thought I’d get a little creative and save a few bucks at the same time. As I was looking for options on Amazon, I came across an interesting product: The
“BND 85W MagSafe 2 Replacement Power Adapter Charger w/ 5 USB Ports for Apple MacBook Pro”. For less than half the price of a
discounted $77 Apple MagSafe Adapter this
$37 charger includes 5 USB ports and gets solid 4.3/5 star reviews. What the heck, I’ll give it a try… <a href="
