Best would be like I just picked it up at the store. How to properly do this? [B]Question #2:[/B] Which one of the two power supply units is appropriate for the computer? I would rather give him the 16.50V/3.65A unit as I have several extras. I’m assuming that the “higher power” supply would not be a problem IF the normal unit is the 14.85V/3.05A? My son-in-law has been a tremendous help in getting groceries etc. during the pandemic (older citizen here), and his old MacBook Air went kaput, so I know he would appreciate the computer.
