It's super frustrating that if I want a 2nd charger for my macbook pro, I have to either buy an overpriced apple adapter, or.... what? I haven't seen any USB-C compatible 140W chargers that are significantly cheaper than apple's.... but I can't charge my laptop with less. If I plug in my 80w charger, my laptop just goes "bong bong bong" as it turns charging on and off endlessly.
- diffeomorphism 3y agoAnker 717 is much smaller and is cheaper, though not by much. Considering it just seems strictly better, it doesn't need to be.
- DowsingSpoon 3y agoThis is a very weird way of saying the that Apple charger is priced competitively and isn’t over priced at all.
- Analemma_ 3y agoHow much is a 140W charger supposed to cost? That's a nontrivial amount of power for something which needs to support multiple voltages: there needs to be thermal management and safety circuitry to match; it's not "just a bigger 5W charger". As another commenter mentioned, Anker's 140W charger is not much cheaper than Apple's.
