Will the new USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable work with a 2017 MacBook air?

I'd love to just take a usb c MagSafe adaptor for my older MacBook Air.

Any ideas anyone (yes I know its new).

Thanks

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

No. The MagSafe 3 is compatible only with the 2021 14 & 16" MacBook Pros.

A 2017 MacBook Air does not have the needed connection.

If still in doubt, see the Compatibility section of https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MLYV3AM/A/usb-c-to-magsafe-3-cable-2-m

Thought as much. I sometimes travel with an older (2017) macbook air. You know, keep work and personal separate. It would be great if I could find a magsafe to usb c cable.

Thanks
