Is it harmful to charge a MacBook Pro 16" with 65W from a monitor?

Hi,

I have a MacBook Pro 16" (2019) and I plan to buy a Dell monitor (P2721Q). The monitor can charge the computer via USB-C up to 65W. Is it harmful to charge the computer with 65W or is the only downside that it only takes a long time to charge it?

Apple says not to use a lower wattage power supply, higher is ok. IMO, it’s fine to use a lower wattage adapter occasionally but not long term.

You should connect the 96 W adapter. It’s fine to connect >1 power source, your Mac will use only the most appropriate one.
