[QUOTE="trevor25220, post: 1891779, member: 383454"] 1). Ankers (rated 65W, but only 45W to USB-C) may be adequate for some MacBooks but not the 2019 i9 16" (96W). I could not find more-powerful Ankers in the UK. 2). British travellers to regions using 2-pin outlets have the combined weight of the UK plug, a universal/local adapter and the heavy power brick, all torquing to break contact. 3). North America users in Europe (but not Asia so much) could also face a similar issue. The duckhead extension cable is a practical solution which also gives the user the option of fitting a dedicated, no-adapter plug for the destination. 4). Apple and OEM companies give no thought or consideration on power supplies to international travellers, and should be giving an extension option, with various plugs, to buyers. 5). Even better would be a coordinated world plan to harmonise outlets within 10 years. [/QUOTE]
