Can I use 60 W charger with MacBookAir?
My MacBook Air charger ( 45 W) died. Best Buys told the 60 W would be ok. I am not panicking b/c I purchased it without research.

you are fine no worries.
from Apple
"Power adapters for Intel-based Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple notebook, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue."
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.
...and in that case, I'd buy the one Apple supplies the computer with just to be on the safe side, but since you already have the 60W and the manufacturer says it's OK to use, I wouldn't sweat it much if at all.
