Apple 67W USB-C Power Adapter

Product Information

This single-port 45W charger is a much better option for MacBook Air owners as we believe that the Apple-supplied 30W or 35W Power Adapters are a little underpowered for the laptop’s potential maximum needs. It is also tiny in comparison to the Apple-supplied charger (38% smaller in volume than Apple’s non-GaN 30W Power Adapter, and 20% smaller than the 35W charger), and significantly cheaper while being a safe, trusted brand. This is a great option if you need to charge up to three MacBooks at a time—for example, two at 65W and one at 45W, and there’s capacity to spare to power another device at 20W. Even if you’re not a frequent traveller, we think you’ll appreciate the option of the interchangeable international plugs and it works just fine if you decide not to travel at all. While this desktop charger ships with a 240W USB-C charging cable—which you have to buy extra with the Satechi—Apple requires you to use its own USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable to fast-charge the top-end MacBook Pro at 140W as the Thunderbolt/USB-C ports are rated at just 100W, making the inclusion a bit superfluous for Mac users. Two power adapters are available with the 14‑inch MacBook Pro. The 67W USB‑C Power Adapter is compact and provides efficient charging at home, in the office, or on the go. It's included with the standard configuration of MacBook Pro with M1 Pro with 8‑core CPU, 14‑core GPU, and 16‑core Neural Engine.

Once connected to a charger, the MacMate can be hooked up to a MacBook and charge it at up to 60W via a USB-C PD port. Another USB-C PD port offers up to 20W charging for another device. On the top is the 10W wireless charging pad—sadly not MagSafe compatible but will work with all wireless-charging iPhones regardless. I have determined that all I need personally is the base 14 inch with 8 core cpu and 512gb ssd. However, it comes with the "slow" charger. But I can get it from Apple Store or other retailers immediately. I can also step up to the 1tb model, and the 1tb ssd would be nice but something I can do without. It comes with the 96w charger, however. Both of these models have much better availability than the custom configs. When using both USB-C ports simultaneously, we recommend using the upper port for charging laptops.

16-inch MacBook Pro (2021 or later)

Despite the 200W total output, the most one port can manage is 100W, which is fine for charging even Apple’s largest laptop but not for fast-charging the 16in Pro. It’s air-travel-friendly so makes a useful companion in your cabin bag if you are going to be using your MacBook on a long flight. Those who opt for the new 16-inch MacBook Pro don't need to worry about any fast charging limitations either, as all 16-inch configurations include a 140W USB-C power adapter in the box that is capable of fast charging. A day after Apple unveiled redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, we continue to learn smaller details about the notebooks that Apple did not mention during its event, and the latest discovery pertains to fast charging.

It might be bigger and heavier than the 45W or 65W single-port Anker chargers, but this GaN charger offers you much more with its three ports. Each of the two USB-C ports can supply up to 67W, although obviously not at the same time as 67W is the total possible output. And the USB-A port supports up to 22.5W. It is the smallest multiport USB-C wall charger, and it weighs just 136g, an indistinguishable difference to the equally compact 130g Ugreen Nexode 65W 3-Port USB-C Wall Charger. Samsung Galaxy S23 / S23+ / S23 Ultra / S22 / S22+ / S22 Ultra / S21 / S21+ / S21 Ultra / Note20 / Note20 Ultra The OneWorld135 is a souped-up version of the OneWord65, and with 100W USB-C output it’s powerful enough to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro, although not fast charge it as that requires one 140W PD 3.1 port. With its universal power outlet and four USB ports, it can charge up to five devices simultaneously. While its total output of 200W and six ports equals that of the Ugreen Nexode 200W 6-Port desktop charger reviewed below, this desktop charger supports PD 3.1 and therefore 140W fast-charging for the 16-inch MacBook Pro using Apple’s USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable.There’s a handy LED battery-capacity percentage indicator, so you can tell how much power is left before you leave home. The 96W adapter is included with any MacBook Pro that has an M1 Pro chip with a 10‑core CPU or an M1 Max chip. It really is a tiny wonder. The Anker Prime 67W Wall Charger, reviewed below, is just as compact, and both make fine mid-sized MacBook chargers. Apple says M2 MacBook Air can go from zero to 50 percent battery level in around 30 minutes using the new adapter that's "compatible with numerous USB-C devices and charging cables." The company did its testing in April and May 2023 on pre-production 15-inch MacBook Air machines fitted with Apple M2, 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. It paired the 70W power adapter with a USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable to test the fast charging capabilities. Like the other Anker wall chargers, this model features foldable (U.S.) plug pins. The U.K. model is as great, although without the neat foldable plug pins.

Due to MacBook charging identification, it is normal to see a plug symbol in the battery icon when charging a MacBook with a third-party wall charger. Charging will revert to normal automatically after around one minute. It has three powerful ports—to USB-C and one USB-A—plus the fully certified and maximum wireless 15W MagSafe pad that you can angle and place the iPhone on in either landscape or portrait modes. Testing conducted by Apple in April and May 2023 using preproduction 15-inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M2, 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. MacBook Air systemstested with Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter (Model A2743) with USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable (Model A2363). Each port will adapt to your charging requirements. You can charge a laptop at up to 65W using just one of the USB-C ports or charge the laptop at 45W and another device at 20W via the other USB-C port. Another option is to power a laptop at 40W via USB-C, and an iPhone or Apple Watch at up to 22.5W using the USB-A port. Using all three ports, the first USB-C port can power the laptop at 40W, the second an iPhone at 12W, and the USB-A port could power up your AirPods at 12W.On the 16-inch MacBook Pro, you can fast-charge only with an 140W USB-C Power Adapter paired with the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable because the Thunderbolt ports are still 100W PD 3.0. Apple, Anker and Ugreen are the only companies to make a power adapter that supports the latest PD 3.1 standard that supports power output to up to 240W; other USB chargers have a practical maximum of 100W. Enjoy unparalleled compatibility with the charger, designed to seamlessly work with over 1,000 devices including smartphones, tablets, laptops, earbuds, and more. For a 45W charger with just one port, the ultra-compact Anker 713 Nano II 45W Charger ( U.S. / U.K.) is a great option, and about 40% smaller than Apple’s 30W charger. It’s more powerful than Apple’s 35W Power Adapter and less expensive. It does have just the one port, but the amount of spare charge you’d get using a 35W charger with a MacBook Air isn’t likely to offer much if you are also trying to charge even your AirPods unless the laptop was sitting doing not much at all at the time.
