And for the first time, MacBook Air supports fast charge for charging up to 50 percent in just 30 minutes with an optional 67W USB-C power adapter.
Anybody know if the 67W USB-C power adapter is finally stock? Edit: Nope, still gotta wait a month: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MKU63AM/A/67w-usb-c-power-adapter https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MKU63AM/A/67w-usb-c-power... Other (bigger) chargers are a 2 month wait. Looks like Apple is still suffering from supply chain issues.
- copperx 4y agoIs there a third-party charger that can deliver that wattage?
- colechristensen 4y agoPretty sure my Dell charger puts out nearly 100W, not sure how compatible it is actually though Edit: It is a power supply that came with an XPS 15 The text on the brick claims 5V 1A and 20 V 6.5 A, missing 9V and 15V levels and the current on 20V seems not to be standard. It does charge everything I have plugged it into, but they might all be falling back to 5V1A. The back text could also just not be telling the truth.
- booi 4y agoI've used them to good success. USB-PD is well defined I think and I've not run into issues if it's supported.
- colechristensen 4y agoI strongly suspect it isn't standards conforming USB-PD

- ajmurmann 4y agoI have a GaN charger from Anchor that delivers 62W and was under $50
- willcipriano 4y agoNever measured it but this can charge my Razor Blade at what appears to be 100w. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08YY5XG4N?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08YY5XG4N?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_...
- gumby 4y agoSure, Anker sells some
- ja27 4y agoAnker Nano II is tiny and does 65 watts. RavPower sells some dual-port models that will do 90W PD if you use one port or 45/45W or 60/30W using both ports. I ran my i9 MBP on the single port and it regularly drew 90W.
- arvinsim 4y agoI have a Ugreen 4-port GaN charger(3 usb-c, 1 usb-a) that's able to provide 90w if you only use the top usb-c port. It's cheaper than the 96w charger that came with my Macbook.
- Kognito 4y agoShanghai lockdowns are easing now so we should see supply come back online soon.
- rektide 4y agoIs this about the new MacBook Air? I'm in favor of them bringing magsafe back, but if and only if it also charges via USB-C cables as well. If this is true, and it charges 60W+, that'd be great.
- shmoe 4y agoYup, one of the coolest parts of this gen. Either or.
- cehrlich 4y agoThe MacBook Pro 14"/16" can charge via USB-C, so almost certainly.
- nicoburns 4y agoThis is true of the latest MacBook Pro’s (you can use either MagSafe or usb-c), so it’s likely true here.
- coder543 4y agohttps://www.apple.com/macbook-air-m2/specs/ https://www.apple.com/macbook-air-m2/specs/ > MagSafe 3 charging port > ... > Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports with support for: > Charging > ... There is absolutely zero doubt, and as others mentioned, it is the same on the 14" and 16".
- asdff 4y agoIf that means they ship with something like a 45W that's just cruel. I bet the charge merely maintains when the computer is under load.
- frutiger 4y agoYou can choose from either at no additional charge.
- littleweep 4y agoThis is surprising! Thought they would have found a way to extract more money from people.
- ja27 4y ago45W is likely plenty for almost any use. I have the 16" M1 Pro MacBook Pro and regularly run it from a small 30W USB-C PD charger. That keeps up with the demand even running Photoshop, Minecraft, Xcode, etc.
- shitlord 4y agoI do the same thing with my 2018 Intel MBP. It's nice being able to go on trips with only your phone charger.
- r00fus 4y agoI charged my 2019 16" MBP on a 29W brick from a M1. Charges fine over (a long) time. I bet my laptop runs hotter than this new MBA.
- asdff 4y agoI had one of the last intel mbas and whatever charger they shipped with that computer was downright anemic. 29W maybe then if that's what yours was? I put the computer under load with a game and the charge actually was trickling down with the thing plugged in and the cpu throttling.
- julienb_sea 4y agoAnker sells a lovely 65W USB-C power adapter ("USB C Charger, Anker 65W PIQ 3.0") for 34$ on Amazon, which I regularly use to charge my 16" M1 pro macbook without issue. Would recommend over buying the Apple option for 2x the price.
- mlindner 4y agoThe 67W USB-C power adapter is available as a free option at order time (on the higher end model).
