(If your macbook can power on, you can go to the apple icon from the desktop and choose "about this mac". First, find the serial number of your macbook. The 3 steps to determine the correct power adapter for your Macbook"ġ. *NOTE - If you already know your exact macbook model and year you can skip to step 3 or scroll down to the bottom of this page to view the Macbook Adapters Chart. How do I figure out which Macbook charger I should use? Follow the 3 steps below. I did not make these style names up myself as Apple also refers to them as L and T shaped adapters on their website: The original MagSafe had an "L shape" and a "T shape" connector. In the pic below, you will see the original MagSafe, MagSafe 2, and USB-C. Sounds like an easy question but it can be confusing with all the different types and wattages. My Macbook is dead, which charger do I need?

I tried a 3rd party USB C- magnetic charging adapter for my 2016 MBP but it was horribly unreliable.Īside from being easier to use, having the LED on the cable to show charging status was incredibly handy. It just worked and it was a boneheaded move to remove it. is right - Magsafe was one of those brilliant Apple innovations that was beautifully simple and functional. (I assume you can use a USB C-USB C cable with the same power adapter) I actually don’t like the ease with which USB C plugs pull out I find them less secure than the old USB A plugs and have accidentally disconnected USB C cables on occasion. You can still charge via the TB4 ports, it’s just limited to 100W. Plus, the USB-C plug actually pulled out more easily in my experience than the reworked barrel-style MagSafe 1 connector. The benefit of being able to charge from either side was well worth it for me at the time.
No one thinking clearly would have ever killed it. I'd love to know who was responsible for the removal of MagSafe. I typically keep my MBPs for seven years, so only three more to go on my 2017 before I get to have MagSafe again! Wheeee!
