MacBook Pro Charger
My MacBook Pro charger stopped working suddenly 2 days ago, definitely I wouldn’t stay without a charger at all as I do my work on my Mac! I called a friend of mine who used to work at iSystem and asked him if they can fix the charger and how much does it cost to get a new one.
Apparently the charger issue is a hopeless case, it can’t be fixed so I had no option but buying a new one which cost 120JD. Before going further with that step I took a charger from a friend of mine so I can proceed with my work until I get a new one.
I wanted to check how much does it cost to get it from the USA thorough Apple.com or Amazon.com, it was a surprise literally when I saw the price on Apple.com which is 75$ and it was a shock when I saw it on Amazon.com which is 41$. Can you imagine the profit iSystem are making when they sell it? They are basically making 100% of profit in the worst case scenarios! And they are taking the advantage of how much people are in need for the charger when they loose it. I can’t wait until I get it from the USA and I have no option but paying the 120JD to have my computer operating and my work done.
its not 100%!!!
think about it
it cost in Apple.com 75$
you have to add Freight charges, Tax and customhouse… it’ll cost more for sure

I think it’s Amman’s bad-Apple-charger month. I have over 5 friends who’s chargers bailed on them this month! Now I’m worried about mine
Did yo use a surge-protector?
