Want charger for 13' 2020 Macbook pro. Cannot find the 61w.

I have a 2020 13 in Macbook Pro that came with a 61w Usb-c power

charger. I want to buy an additional charger, but I only see 67w on here. Is that OK to use with my Macbook

Pro?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

That one is compatible -- see the Compatibility section of 67W USB-C Power Adapter - Apple

You can also use a larger power adapter. The MacBook Pro won't draw more power than it is designed to.

You have options. Doesn't even have to be Apple. Theoretically lower power should work, although it may not be ideal if it's providing less power than needed to operate and has to tap into the battery.


Belkin and Anker have some pretty good high-power adapters. They're using gallium nitride converter circuits, which run a lot cooler than silicon. I heard that Apple only has that in some limited applications so far, like the 140W power adapter for the most powerful MacBook Pros.
