I bought a bunch of 45W+ USB-C chargers and put one in every room of the house. They're only about $20 each on Amazon. All of the family computers and phones can be charged on any of them. It's nice not to think about it.
- dylan604 5y agoYou're putting a lot of faith in a $20 thing from Amazon, especially for something as crucial as the charger. Which brand have you put your faith in for these adapters?
- dangrossman 5y agoI think your concern is overblown. They're all different brands, bought at different times, with the oldest an "Innergie" brand bought in 2016 and the newest a "Nekteck". Over those years, they've charged 5 different laptops and 4 different phones. No problems with any of the cables or devices.
- dylan604 5y agoDo any of them whine when under load?
- dangrossman 5y agoNo.

- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoWho cares about brand when Amazon commingles inventory and will happily ship you a counterfeit regardless?
- reph2097 5y agoDon't use third party chargers on A1706 or A1708 MacBook Pros. Doing so will kill a charge IC. It's well documented and I fix one or two of these logic board faults every month.
- awestroke 5y agoI searched but I can't find anything more about this. Do you have any links to share?
