[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1309994, member: 56379"] Your MacBook will simply "draw" the amount of energy it needs. Think of the laptop "power bricks" like automobile engines. An automobile engine could propel an automobile up to 120mph...but usually they go no faster than 65-70 mph (at least for folks that aren't breaking the speed limit ;)). Same with the 85 watt power brick. It is capable of supplying power to a device requiring 85 watts...but it can also supply the necessary power to less demanding devices such as a 60 watt MacBook.
