Jan 11, 2012 4:51 AM in response to rush_techby wjosten,★HelpfulIt will work just fine. 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. You should never use an adapter of less wattage than what came with your computer, but higher is OK.
Apple even states such here:

Jan 12, 2012 5:08 PM in response to rush_techby eww,The 85W charger might charge your battery at some times when a 60W adapter won't, though. When your machine is running under very heavy load, the 60W unit may stop charging to make additional power available to the processors. That's much less likely to happen with the 85W adapter.
