I wonder why they have two separate adapters and couldn't make one for both. Seems to add a bit of fragmentation.
- tylerwhipple 10y agoI do not know if the prices were different in the past, but 13" laptops previously used a 60W power adapter, while the 15" used an 80W
- Keverw 10y agoInteresting. I figured it was the same, like how the iPhone and iPhone Plus is the same... They should make a magic power adaptor. Since using USB C. If plugged in start charging it at like 60W and then once the computer is booted up it could use the data part of USB C to tell the adaptor to change if possible. Then when the cable is unplugged from the laptop or adaptor then go back to 60W... I also wonder if its any bad if people plugged their iPhone's into these power bricks too hmm.

- snowwrestler 10y agoUp to now, any Apple laptop could use any power adapter. I regularly plug my 2012 MacBook Air into the brick for my 2008 MacBook Pro. I will be VERY surprised if that is not the case anymore. Probably the main reason to build different bricks is so that the smaller lighter laptop also has a smaller lighter brick.
