MBP 2019. Comes with a 60W charger and USB-C cable (very thick)
Is it ok to use any 60W charger as Anker for example have a 60W GAN type that is 35% smaller than the Apple one.
Also the cable is very thick from Apple, is it ok to use any USB-C cable, as the ones I’ve bought are just thin?
thanks
I would pay for Apple-approved and Apple supplied adapter only. Pushing so much power through a tiny wire could always go bad and cutting corners introduces risk.
My humble opinion at least, and I will be buying a 2020 16 in soon.
But there’s no way to buy the cable I can see. I agree it must be a thicker cable from Apple supplied because of this, but how do you buy a replacement?
So as I want a spare charger, the 61W one from Apple doesn’t supply a cable so what do you use?
The below cable is just a standard thin type, and if you buy the charger

So you wouldn’t buy the Anker one like this as a spare/extra one to use, and then a normal USB-C to USB-C cable?

No one else buy extra chargers or cables?
Has anyone bought an extra one from Apple, is it the same thick cable that comes originally with MBP?
Anker has power delivery ones with GaN technology and have a 60W one that is much smaller physically than the Apple one. I’m wondering if this is ok to use with a normal USB-C to USB-C cable though?
Any charger and cable ok?
