Will my MacBook Pro charging cord safely work to charge my MacBook Air -- and vice versa?
I have a 15" MacBook Pro.
I also have an 11" MacBook Air.
Both came with the standard white charging cords.
However the white square "brick" in the middle of the Pro's charging cord is slightly larger than the white square "brick" in the middle of the Air's charging cord.
Problem: I am going traveling with a partner, and one of us will be bringing the Pro, and the other will be bringing the Air. We need to travel as lightly as possible, and I'm looking for a way to NOT bring anything I can possibly leave at home. It dawned on me that we were not only bringing two computers, but also two charging cords. The Air's charging cord in fact practically doubles the weight and volume of the Air as a long-term traveling device, since the Air itself is so light and takes up so little volume.
It would be great if we could bring just ONE of these charging cords, and use it (alternating back and forth, of course) to charge up BOTH computers.
So my question is:
If I JUST brought the Air's smaller charging cord, it obviously can successfully charge the Air, but can it ALSO charge the Pro?
OR...
If I JUST brought the Pro's larger charging cord, it obviously can successfully charge the Pro, but can it ALSO charge the Air (safely)?
Or does each computer necessarily require its own specific charging cord, for whatever electrical-requirement reasons?
