Please do not recommend the Griffin product for the MacBook Pro. It is not rated for 87W.
- bri3d 10y agoShouldn't it negotiate with the Source using its Cable Identifier and simply provide 60W (20V @ 3A) maximum to the MBP? So a slow charge, but not dangerous? Has anyone tested this scenario in real life? I'd imagine that if the machine is idle, 60W would at least provide break-even, and in sleep, should be able to charge it. But that's assuming that the identity negotiation works properly with this hardware combination.
- bartvk 10y agoI haven't calculated it, but I don't see that laptop consume more than 60W. Unless you've got all CPU and GPU cores blazing, and one or more devices quick-charging. And then it'll temporarily dip into the battery.
- unprepare 10y agoI wasnt trying to recommend a specific product, which is why i linked to the search rather than a specific product page. I havent used any of them so wouldnt feel comfortable recommending any individual model
