I bought this item on the 17th of January 2013. I was very skeptical as there are many reviews from one extreme end to another. Some say it killed their MacBook Pro, while others' say it works like a charm and I'm part of the latter.

A lot of research was done by myself before I even added this to my basket. I visited the Apple website of course to see the price of their own and this is far cheaper in comparison, but no only that... the reviews of Apple's on adapters were terrible and this made me believe that buying the cheaper alternative would not be so bad.

There's also advice saying you should not buy this 60W adapter for an 80W MacBook Pro because it either will not charge, or it will do so very slowly while overheating. I bought and tried this nonetheless and found that though it took awhile to charge the first time (maybe because the laptop was dead for so long after the previous adapter stopped functioning) it worked well after that and did not overheat. Just to be sure, I unplugged it every time it completed its charge and now it's the 21st of May 2013 - it's working just the same as it did back in January and I'm not afraid of having it blow up.

I did make sure to buy the adapter extension since my original was so short and this may change the experience some people have, I'm not sure and will not say it will increase the lifespan but I think this product deserves a chance.

First and foremost; do NOT let the picture fool you. I have seen people use superb quality mirror screen protectors that actually look like the preview picture where the whole face of your phone literally becomes a mirror and therefore, you cannot see the face colour of the phone let alone the screen. This protector however is nothing like that and only appears to be a regular protector that is tinted. It ruins the quality of the screen heavily (as in vibrant colours become dull even at maximum brightness), it causes a rainbow effect at every angle and using this in daylight could be hazardous to your eyes as it reflects light very easily. I had to shift one to my friend just so I could get rid of a screen protector. I cannot see anybody using this for more than a week.

The one good thing about it though is that it's easy to put on, I did not get any bubbles on my first and last attempt.

I've had the 3DS since release and after much waiting, have finally received this game! Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land have brought the 3DS to life instead of those not so good 3rd party games.

Mario Kart 7 is an AMAZING game, it's bright, vibrant and will have your mouth wide open when you race on your first course. The graphics aren't as good as the Wii's but the 3DS produces quality lighting and shading effects which make it look much better than on Mario Kart Wii.

The glider is a nice way to cruise through the course and you'll feel like a fan boy remembering all the GameCube, Wii, N64 and SNES courses. The music on this game is also very appealing, has me turning my volume way up.

With every game like this though, I believe that playing with other people (friends and online) is what pushes the game to it's peak. With a Mario game you never know when a blue shell will come and hit you right at the finish line or a lightning bolt striking you down from your glider at the worst possible moment and this adds to the excitement... As well as frustration when you know victory was in your almighty grasp!

The only downside I'd say is that there's a lack of characters. I'd of loved to see the baby characters, Dry Bones, Toadette, Diddy Kong etc. But it makes up for it in a sense with new characters and your own Mii Character which looks far better than the Mii racer on Mario Kart Wii, so treat yourself, siblings or children for Christmas.

Get gliding, diving and screaming; enjoy all the courses, new and old, but for those that fear Rainbow Road beware, there are two Rainbow Roads in this game - MWUHAHAHAHA.
