Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.


Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.


Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).
