Q: Is there a way to check if a charger belongs to a certain laptop? Such as the product key or some code?

My sister and I both have macbooks, but one of the charger's stopped working and we can't figure out which one of us it belongs to.

Depending on your OS, you might get detailed information about your adapter in the Systeminfo if you choose "About this Mac" / More Info/Hardware/ from the Appel menu in the top left of your screen.

If you both have the same MBP, then you will have the same charger. There is no correlation with the serial number of the charger with the MBP. You may have to flip a coin.

85w chargers are for 15" and 17" MBPs. 60w chargers are for 13" MBPs.

Ciao.
