what is the difference between a charger and an adapter

Apple calls these "adapters" because they plug into a 110V outlet and have a USB outlet - :adapting" the wall outlet AC voltage to something that will charge your Mac. You can then plug in whatever cable works for your Mac. Thus it serves as a charger for your Mac. Yes, it would be less confusing if they simply called it a charger but technically it's correct.

In this case, nothing. This unit will charge the battery in a MacBook. Hope that helps.

No charger cord like a laptop. Instead, you have an adapter that plus to the wall and has a USB PLUG ON ONE END AND A MICRO USB PLUG ON THE OTHER END. Micro USB plugs to the tablet while the full USB plugs to the wall adapter or a PC Full USB for its power. Charges much faster thru wall adapter.

I'm assuming that by AC charger, you are referring to the transformer. If so, you need a transformer that the output is 12V and 1.0Amp. The trick is the adapter that plugs in to the base charger. My advise it to purchase a Maha PowerEx MH-C401FS4AA27 - Battery charger - battery - rechargeable - AA x 4 - 2700 mAh. You will also get the DC and AC adapters. The difference in the price is just a few dollars.

I'm not certain what the difference is but this adapter was so unreliable whether it would work or not that I returned it. If you can afford it buy the official apple adaptor.

The car charger is just an additional power adapter. the device itself powers normally through a household outlet.

The amps and watts is the amount of power the charger can produce from the wall plug to charge your devices. I got the 2 amp/10 watt charger because apple products seem to need more power to charge. I have a laptop an phone that I have charged at the same time.

You dont need any adapter. Everything you need comes with it. Hope this helps.

This adapter is similar to the original. The difference I see is that there is only blue light that does not change when charging. However, it charges my laptop (shown in the charge icon in the computer) satisfactorily.

This comes with a charger that plugs into a standard American 110V plug. If you're going to plug it into something different you need an adapter...

well I've only got one of the two car chargers I ordered so far. but in answer to your question both ports are the same so you can use two devices at a time to charge.

the main charger plugs directly into an outlet. The 12 volt car adapter has a cord and it plugs into the main charger.

I usually choose the more powerful adapter, thinking it will charger faster, especially if I have more than the minimal number of cells in my laptop battery.

ac adapter comes with lamp, but charger does not. The lamp does not give off very much light, if you are going to use it with the ac adapter there are better choices.

Charging with a wall adapter vs. a computer usb port will have no effect on the charging cycle. I have had mine for 3 years now and always use a wall charger. The only difference is the computer usb port will take more than 14hrs to charge it. Using a wall charger cuts that time to about 8 hrs.

Both actually. Although the headphones come with a USB adapter, a lot of my old cellphone wall chargers also have the same connection plug. So, I just use the wall charger at home and USB when I'm on the road. That's going to be the least of your worries, because the battery life last a very long time, even with constant music and or conversations. Enjoy! And, Happy Holidays to you all.

Either port will charge fine but the 2.4 is faster. Its similar to the difference between plugging it into your computer to charge (1 amp slow) or a wall charger (2.4 amp faster). Both will do the job one is just faster.

They say its not a real Samsung Charger, because, it isn't. Its not unusual for other manufacturers to make replacement chargers for devices. I have an original & an OEM charger. The differences i see are the name (TRAVEL ADAPTER vs A+TRAVEL ADAPTER), model numbers, I/P Amps (0.15A vs 0.35A), O/P Amps (1A vs 2A) and the insulation on the OEM cable protecting the wires inside is thicker and more durable. It charges the same as the original in my opinion and is more durable so it is the one I stuff in my bag to travel around with. With all 'replacement' accessories there is some risk, so continue to review before purchasing. Usually the majority rules. They say its not a real Samsung Charger, because, it isn't.
