I have several 60W MagSafe Power Adapters for my 13" Mac Book Pro. I am looking at the MacBook Air 13" and was wondering whether I can use my 60W MagSafe Power Adapters with the MacBook Air if I get the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter?
The converter info page (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD504) states that it is only compatible with the 45W and 85W MagSafe Power Adapters which seems a little odd?
Thanks in advance.
I think you're going to be hard pressed to get an answer right away on this. Given that everything was announced today and the accessories probably won't be showing up in stores till midweek or later. But I do agree with you, it seems very strange that it'll support the 45W and 85W yet not the 60W. I suspect it might be an oversight admission on the listing.
I've got one on order (and I've got access to a 60W). I'll chime in once I've had the opportunity to connect the two which looks to be in 5-7 business days (or so).
No responses yet to this and listing still does not show the 60W adapter. I have just received my MacBook Air and the 45W adapter output is 14.85V at 3.05A. My 60W adapter is 16.5V at 3.6A, will it be safe to use with the MacBook Air? If anyone has the 85W adapter, what is the output?
Any Magsafe power adapter can be used safely with the MBA. If you have the latest MBA, you'll need to buy a Magsafe2 adapter for the old power adapter.
Hello Antony,
From your experience, could you please advice whether you found that MacBook Air can be charged by Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adapter without any risks or not?
Thank you in advance
Hi,
I have been using the 60W MagSafe Power Adapter now for at least 2 months without any issues and the MacBook Air charge OK
The 85W adapter can safely be used on all magsafe machines.
60W adapter will work on most 15" MBPro, all 13's and all MBA
45 is a lone duck. If you have to buy a 45W adapter, get a 85W one instead, same price and all
Thank you for your reply!!
