[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1886587, member: 56379"] We weren't told exactly what model 2014 MacBook Pro this is...but one parameter that should be paid attention to is the output of each power supply (in watts). * 13" 2014 MacBook Pro originally came with a 60 Watt power supply * 15" 2014 MacBook Pro originally came with a 85 Watt power supply * 16" 2019 MacBook Pro originally came with a 96 Watt power supply If using one of the 2014 MacBook Pro power supplies with the 16" 2019 MacBook Pro is the question...either 2014 power supply will probably work ok (with the proper adapter to fit the power port on the 16" MacBook Pro). But under certain higher load/higher demand circumstances (especially with the 2014 60 watt power supply)...it may not be able to supply enough power to the 16" MacBook Pro (since the original 2016 MacBook Pro is rated for 96 watts). - Nick [/QUOTE]
