New Air to Thunderbolt display charger

I just bought a Mac Air and i note it uses a 45W power source, I have a Thunderbolt display which i see provides 60W power flow and am afraid to damage my appreciated Air if i connect it to such a power source. Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Mr. Bacardi,


I understand that you would like to use a 60W power adapter with your MacBook Air. I have located a support article which provides additional information about power adapters.

You may find this section helpful:

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.
