Most Favorable Review

Works as expected with 2007 15" MacBook Pro

100W USB C Type C to Magsafe 1 L-Tip Power Adapter Cable for Apple MacBook Pro 13" 15" 17" Macbook Air Pro 11" 13" MacBook 13" (Before 2012 Year)  A1222 A1172 MA357LL/A
100W USB C Type C to Magsafe 1 L-Tip Power Adapter Cable for Apple MacBook Pro 13" 15" 17" Macbook Air Pro 11" 13" MacBook 13" (Before 2012 Year) A1222 A1172 MA357LL/A

Pros: Runs and charges a 2012 MacBook Air using any USB-C PD adapter that is capable of 20V/2.3A (45 watt or higher), and 2017 15" MacBook Pro with a more powerful adapter (85 watts or higher). The cable reports itself as an 85W MagSafe adapter (see screenshot). Definitely does what it says! Not all similar items do :(

Cons: As a result of the PD spec for 20V with the higher wattage, it provides a higher voltage than the original MagSafe chargers, nominally rated at 16.5V (±0.3V monitoring with iStat Menus), but seems to be tolerated by the laptops. The actual voltage will depend on your power adapter, but it will be around 20.0V ± 0.5V.

Overall Review: Get it! Works for higher wattage laptops, and is a convenient way to keep using an old laptop.

Most Critical Review

Only 45W MagSafe, but nice ~85W USB-C PD adapter

Newer Upgrade 2020 Power Adapter 85W L Mag-Safe 1 for MacBook Pro Charger 15" 17" AC A1343 L

Pros: The included adapter is quite convenient, works well, and really affordable! It even worked for the bigger laptop, just with a different cable (2A6-012W-00008). MagSafe cable works with MacBook Airs. Monitored voltage and amperage while charging my mid-2012 11" MacBook Air and it was stable all the way through.

Cons: The MagSafe cable only reports as 45W no matter what USB-C PD adapter I use (see screenshot). This means it will not fully power a MacBook Pro. My 2007 15" MBP can charge with this cable when sleeping, but will not boot on it with no battery. As a result of the PD spec for 20V with the higher wattage, it provides a higher voltage than the original MagSafe chargers, nominally rated at 16.5V (±0.3V monitoring with iStat Menus), but seems to be tolerated by the laptops. The actual voltage will depend on your power adapter, but it will be around 20.0V ± 0.5V. Really minor, but compared with all other original and third-party MagSafe 1 connectors, this one is easier to dislodge from an original Apple MagSafe 1 -> 2 adapter.

Overall Review: Good value, but not exactly as described.

Great Looking Watch

Stuhrling Original Men's Winchester Automatic Watch 165.331554
Stuhrling Original Men's Winchester Automatic Watch 165.331554

Pros: Looks great and keeps time accurately for up to a week

Cons: The watch band is somewhat awkward to wear and bend. Also, the printed name on face is somewhat annoying

Overall Review: This is my first spring-based watch, and it looks and works great for a fraction of what I would have expected to pay with other brands.

Functional but Lacking

Rosewill RX35MV-U-BU SLV 3.5" IDE to USB 2.0 External Enclosure (Silver Aluminum & plastic)

Pros: Works perfectly with any IDE hard drive I attached. Spin down of drive when inactive. Comes with everything needed/used. Nice metal case. I thought it was great, so I bought another. See next review for results.

Cons: Hard drive not held firmly, loose inside and will shake or vibrate; only one pair of rails is provided to help hold it in place.

Overall Review: Circuit board could be attached to plastic back better; USB/Power jacks seem loose when connecting cables.

Functional but Flawed

Pros: Works perfectly with any IDE hard drive I attached. Spin down of drive when inactive. Comes with everything needed/used. Nice metal case. Second purchase.

Cons: Plastic backing would NOT stay in place; had to modify with screws/drill. Circuit board was not attached to plastic backing; had to glue. Hard drive not held firmly, loose inside and will shake or vibrate; only one pair of rails is provided to help hold it in place.

Quality, but not for games

Pros: High quality image, great interface and PVR functions. This pleased me, as did the USB 1.1 support on my older PowerBook G4. Smooth operation, remote control works seamlessly on MacBook Pro.

Cons: Game mode is very close to lag free, but does not cut it for an FPS like Halo. It works for less demanding games, as the delay is too slight to matter unless you are in pursuit of or snipping an enemy target. Game mode and the remote do not work with USB 1.1 (old PowerBook G4).

Overall Review: Great product, but not good for use with game consoles.
