Personally, I have never had a single problem with any Apple power  
supply.  That is all I have ever used.

If you are getting a Ti Powerbook from someone else - as seems to be  
the case - I would recommend that you wipe the disk completely with  
Disk Utility, install a brand new OS X.
Then you do not inherit any issues or problems.

Second, get yourself a suitable external drive for backup.
