I already have the ‘real’ Apple adapter but needed a second one for my home office. This is EXACTLY like the Apple one. Upon close examination, the plastic molds and connectors look like they came from the same factory. The cable looks the same except it doesn’t have the writing that is on the Apple cable. Even the package looks like Apple’s- plastic bag with flat black cardboard seal. This is either a great Chinese knock-off (although they’re all from China anyway) or it’s simply an unlabeled version of the exact same cable.
BTW, for the first few weeks the connector was a bit harder to push in than my old one. And now that I remember, my old one was like this too when it was new. So give it a few weeks and it will ‘click’ much smoother.
I purchased this for my April 2010 MBP but it did not fit. No foul from the seller but if you’re looking for an adaptor for your newer MBP you want a “mini display port” to dvi.
My adapter did not look exactly like the description but it works as advertised. The mini side looks like the picture the the regular dvi side is made of softer plastic. I have owned a similar Apple branded adapter and this product is just as sturdy. The connection is very good. If you must have the exact adapter as in the picture, spend at least $20 more and pick up the Apple brand adapter. Otherwise, this one works just fine.
Just want to chime in with most of the other reviewers: this works fine and seems well-constructed enough that it should continue working fine.
I only installed it a few days ago, but the connectors are screwed in and seem solid, so I don’t see any reason to doubt that it will continue functioning.
Of course, at this price (under $7 including shipping), the gamble is worth it. Even if their quality control is lousy and a large percentage of recipients get flawed cables, the cost is low enough to take the risk.
Oh, and shipping was very prompt. Arrived three days before Amazon had predicted.
This Mini-DVI to DVI-D adapter works well. Remember that it’s DVI-D. One slight ‘problem’ might be that at the computer’s end, the cable is not a perfect fit. But it’s not so bad and as long as you don’t forcefully pull the adapter or the computer, there shouldn’t be any problem.
