I've used it on a Macbook and haven't seen any issues.

It says on the specs that one charger is 60W(MacBook) and the other is 85W(MacBook Pro)... Won't that mess anything up?

That means the power it can deliver. The MacBook will only use what it needs. It also means you can't use the MacBooks adapter on the Pro because it would not have enough power to charge it.

You should have no problems. A few people on here have bought extra supplies for the office and they bought the Pro's supply for their Macbooks.

I wouldn't recommend doing it very often. You will be maxing out the adapter. That is why I never suggest it unless absolutely necessary. Such as for some reason you didn't have the pros charger with you.

Like you said, I have only done it when I didn't have the Pro adapter around. At least we know it works in a pinch!
