I couldn't find the correct charger for my Mac Air. I had a lot of help from the staff to find the correct product.

Q: Which MacBook models is the Apple 85W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter designed for?
A: It is designed for MacBook Pro with Retina display models that use the MagSafe 2 connector, especially 15-inch Retina models from the 2012 to 2015 era. It is not suitable for older MagSafe 1 ports or newer USB-C MacBook models.
Q: Can this 85W MagSafe 2 adapter be used with a 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina that normally uses a lower wattage charger?
A: Yes. A higher wattage Apple adapter can generally be used with a compatible MagSafe 2 MacBook because the computer only draws the power it needs. The key check is the connector type. It must be MagSafe 2, not MagSafe 1 or USB-C.
Q: What is the difference between MagSafe and MagSafe 2 for this Apple power adapter?
A: MagSafe 2 uses a thinner, wider magnetic connector than the older MagSafe design, so they do not plug into the same port directly. This 85W adapter is the MagSafe 2 version made for compatible Retina-era MacBook Pro models.
Q: Is 85W enough to charge and use a Retina MacBook Pro at the same time?
A: Yes. An 85W adapter is intended for larger MacBook Pro models that need more power during charging and everyday use. It is better suited to a 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro than a 45W or 60W adapter, especially under heavier workloads.
Q: Will this adapter work with newer MacBook Pro models that charge with USB-C?
A: No. This model uses Apple’s MagSafe 2 magnetic connector and is meant for earlier Retina MacBook Pro generations. Newer MacBook Pro models with USB-C or USB-C charging need a USB-C power adapter instead of MagSafe 2.
