14-in is looking for 65-ish watts to Charge+Run,

16-in is looking for near 100-ish watts to Charge+Run.

... add about 40W more for fast Charge+Run

and all require a power adapter with USB Power Delivery Protocol -- you can't just assert 60 W at 20 Volts and expect anything good to happen. The computer is in control of its charging.

All these people with shiny new Macs - I'm still waiting for mine (it's a gift from my parents. Initially, I was meant to be swapping it for this one as their mid-2012 MBP is limping (and can't be updated any more, of course), but this one has too many problems (dodgy keyboard, 2 non-functioning Thunderbolt ports, failing battery, dodgy Touch Bar (only works 50% of the time) and the hard drive isn't in the best of health, either - and it's only a late 2016 model).

Dad ordered it 6 weeks ago, and still no update from Apple as to its whereabouts. Feel I ought to have received it by now...😠😡🤬🤯

Nope, it won’t… I’m using my 2016 brick … as long as it has USB-C PD and is 67W+… there is no problem…

Yes, you can!

It is close to the required Watts, so it will not cause any damage to anything.

Where did you find this information or is it just an assumption?

I'm just curious to where to find technical specs
