If I chose to buy the 14" model which comes with a 96W USB-C power adapter, does anyone who has experience of Apple products know if I could still use my existing 65W usb charger to power or charge the MacBook?
My Dell XPS 15 does allow me to charge it with a 65W USB-C charger which is nice when I don't want to lug around the beefy 130W power adapter but I do have to be careful not to stress the CPU too much or it will start draining the battery. I wonder whether MacBooks have a similar "graceful fallback".
- diebeforei485 5y agoThe new Macbook Pros support charging through the USB-C ports or the MagSafe port. You should be fine using the USB-C ports with your adapter. It's as of yet unclear how well the MagSafe cable would work with your adapter.
