[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1949722, member: 396914"] I'm not sure what that actually means. If you mean that a power supply from Apple, which has the correct MagSafe connector or an appropriate adaptor from Apple will work, then yes, that's better. But technically the model year of the Mac doesn't matter that much, either. The power rating that the OP asked about is basically immaterial, as long as the minimum wattage is provided for the Mac. More capability is not prohibited, so an 85W supply, as long as the connector fits, will work just fine on a machine that originally came with a 60W supply, again as long as the connector fits. Similarly, if the connection is USB-C, then any wattage will basically work, again as long as it meets minimums. [/QUOTE]
