Could I charge a Macbook Pro with this device?

Yes, but...It will take a while. The MacBook Pro, when charged from the wall charger and mag-safe, gets 16.5 VDC @ 3.65Amps. The MBP needs about 40 Watts to keep the internal circuits alive and well, and it takes about 1 hour to charge the MBP @ 60 Watts, therefore 60 Watt-Hours. The New Trent output for USB 2 is 5 VDC, 2 Amps. At 14000 mAh rated for the Trent, using the equation for Energy=Watts, E=14000mAh x 5 volts / 1000= 70 Wh (Watt-hours) That being said, it may NOT be able to fully charge the MBP more than once. Hope this helps (and is correct!) May want to ask Trent, but I'm sure they only listed tablets and phones for a reason, given the power needs of the MBP.

It should work on any Mac that requires 85W *or less*!!! Just because the power supply is *rated* at 85W doesn't mean it delivers that much power to the laptop, it means it can deliver *up to* 85W. If you have a 40W Air, then that's the maximum that the charger will deliver. The only caveat is that the new Macs have the MagSafe2 connector, which may require you to get a MagSafe to MagSafe2 adapter.

i would personally think not. it is call a "printer" wire. Don't know if I would take a chance. Works great as a printer connection for myportable printer to my macbook pro.

I am sure it will because you are using a USB connection. But, doesn't the MacBook Pro have an Ethernet jack? If so, you don't need this.

It didn't work with my older MacBook Pro laptop. Got an error message something like "device using too much power through USB" and it was bypassed. Might work on newer Macs.

The USB connection will work in the Macbook Pro. To make sure it works, go under System Preferences, Sound and then the Input tab to make sure it is being used.

Yes it can. As long as it has the standard Apple plug and not the newer plugs, it will charge Apple products.

Just connect usb from charger to Mac air to charge, will probably only be good for 1 charge though, laptop needs more power than the smaller devices obviously.

It does not plug into anything but the usb port on your computer. It runs on the computer power and does not have outlet capabilities. You could charge your apple stuff with it but I think it would be a slow process.

Not really. It only charge USB devices iPad, phones etc. Computer needs much higher voltage.

Hi, David. Thank you for your question. The Gridder cannot charge a MacBook Pro. The Gridder supplies the USB standard of 5V, while the MacBook Pro charges at a higher voltage.

Yes. I'm using it on a 2007 MBP 15". Sometimes it takes a few minutes to start charging (as opposed to just supplying power), i.e. the lightning bolt in the battery icon doesn't always show up immediately, but it does charge.

Yes, one slot will charge any apple product. The other one is for other devices that aren't Apple

I don't know. I only have a MacBook Pro. It works really well for it though.
