Power adapters for Intel-based Apple portables are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple portable, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue.

For instance If you have a MacBook (13-inch Late 2009) that normally uses a 60W adapter, you can also use an 85W adapter with that computer. You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook. Using an adapter of higher wattage than the adapter that came with the computer will not cause the computer to charge more quickly or otherwise operate any differently than using the adapter that came with the computer.

very welcome 🙂

You just do not want to use a lower watt adaptor for a Apple device then what is recommended. So for example you can use a Macbook Pro adaptor on a Macbook Air. But not the other way around.

Hello emptywait,

From your experience, could you please advise whether you found that MacBook Air can be charged by Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adapter without any risks or not?

Thank you in advance

Yes, it is fine.
