I just made the switch over to mac. I am starting small/cheap and purchased a MC133LL/A Macbook Pro. It does not come with a charger (part of the reason it was so cheap) and I have seen several ones with different wattages on the chargers. How to I know whether I need an 85 watt or 60 watt?
MacBook Pro
Cant' find your machine, need more information

Once you know your exact machine, then you can search Apple.com store for the right charger.
I apologize I typed it wrong. It is MB133LL/A. I looked it up on the last link you provided and it says it has a 60W battery. Using simple logic I am going to assume it needs a 60W charger?
An MB133LL/A is an early 2008 15" MBP which should use a 85 WATT power adapter, not a 60 watt adapter.
Ciao.
In addition to the advice from https://discussions.apple.com/profile/OGELTHORPE above, the actual model required is linked below.
Power Adapter 85W MagSafe Power Adapter (MA357LL/A)
so any 85W macbook charger will not work? Only that model number?
I found this charger on ebay, will it work?
It probably will but I do not see the AC cord and plug in the picture. I would avoid that offer.
Ciao.
What charger to buy?
