I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch, Model A1278 (bought 2012). My 60W was stolen. Will this 85W adapter in any way damage my computer?

It won't damage it. But the charger won't last very long. Mine didn't last more than 3 months and I barely used it.

Darius no my charger had stopped working and I got one of these and it works just fine.

Apple recommends using a 60 watt power supply for macbook airs as the 85 watt is designated for the MacBook Pro. However, it also states that the computer knows how much power to draw so using a charger that is higher wattage than recommended is completely fine also. It will not damage the computer.

It all depends on the connector type, and the polarity of the adapter vs the one on the device. If the shoe fits, as they say, just don't turn the brightness and volume up all the way or you may burn out your adapters no matter which one you use. Half a volt usually doesn't matter except to laptops themselves, other devices aren't as sensitive as some will still work at lower voltages, but barely in some cases.

Yes it does but you are better getting the smaller version since you don't need 85w. I think the air only needs 40w but I am not positive. All of these downgrade to the proper power macbook. I only need 65w on my 13" MBP and this 85w version works well for car trips.

This power unit was standard for the 13-inch Macbook Air models that started shipping in Mid 2013, marked as "13-inch, Mid 2013". Unit I had for this is fully loaded with maximum memory and disk and processor, so that's not an issue. Also, doesn't depend on the operating system. Worked from 10.6.x through 10.9.x You should be upgraded to 10.9.3 by now, as info.

Shouldn't hurt at all. Computer will only draw what it needs. It won't fry any more than plugging that 90w charger into a wall outlet that has about 1800 watts or more potential in it. (120V X 15A)

If I recall correctly, I think we purchased the "65w" item because the original adapter that came with our Dell Inspiron 1545 purchase actually had a "65w" marking on it. I just looked at the replacement adapter we purchased recently, and it has no such marking on it! We no longer have the original adapter so I cannot verify any of this!

Dear Demetre,I am the kind of guy who keeps useful extra items. The darn hub didn't work when it came. I read someone's comment that the power adapter was too small, so I looked in my stash of power packs [some people call them "Wall Warts!"] and found one rated 5V 1Amp. Since then, it has worked, but it's junky - the sockets do not fit smoothly. I notice that everyone else is using 3 - 5 Amps. The item they sent to me was tiny and it was much weaker than my 1 Amp unit.

Check your sleek book specs, if it says 65W, then you should have no problems.

I would be careful. I tried using this with my MacBk Pro and it sparked and left a small black mark on the computer but did not charge it. I have not tried it since. I was a waste of money for me. Very disappointed!

Apple system profile.However, I have the latest and it's still pretty unreliable. :(That said, it's impossible to say it's the adaptor for sure. Maybe it's my monitor. :)I hope yours is more reliable than mine!

I don't know about 2009, but I got my macbook pro 13 back in 2011 and this adapter works WONDERFULLY. I highly recommend this item, I've gotten other chargers that spark and flake out on you in months and I've had this charger for about 3 months now and I haven't seen any sparking, and I haven't felt it get over heated. It was a great buy for me I hope it works out for you too!

all you have to do is tell the seller what happened. Most likely they will replace it and even ship it to you free of charge, just a word of advice, don't let them know your mad and what ever you do DO NOT MAKE THREATS, as this will just get you nowhere and they won't replace your power adapter no matter how you know your in the right. I have had mine replaced for no charge, just tell them what you said in this question and they will be happy to keep you a happy customer

I agree with Nizar's answer, and I must emphasize that you get the Apple OEM adapter and not a cheap knock-off.

I bought mine too in 2013 macbook pro 13, the thing you need to look is the model number below your mac should read 'Model No. A1278'.

hi Stefanie, The cord will work for any of the apple products that accept this attachment design. It is rated for 120v. (standard U.S. plug). The "W" stands for watts. the 60W comes from the adapter. Take a look at your 60w DC converter that the cord will plug into. Most standard apple converters have look like a "bean" (capsule shape with a "V" indentation between the two metal prongs). If you have an Apple MagSafe 60W Power Adapter for MacBook and MacBook Pro. then it will work. It will work for any of the MacBook power supplies. The wall extension is just a cord to extend the converter. The extension needs to be plugged in directly to the wall and not into another extension cord. Doing this will put to much stress on your system. All cords are rated for a specific distance and this will cause issues. Hope this helps Keith Castillo
