MacworldUp until the release of its M5 MacBooks Apple shipped a USB-C power adapter with all its MacBooks, Air and Pro. Apple has started shipping its latest laptops without a charger in the E.U and U.K. Even U.S.-based MacBook owners who do get the power adapter shipped with their new laptop should consider these superior USB-C chargers.It’s important to note that there are risks with buying a cheap charger and we don’t recommend you choose on price alone. That bargain MacBook charger might just fry your laptop or get dangerously hot. However, there are some great premium chargers from trusted brands that sell for less than Apple pricey chargers. All the chargers listed here have been tested and are trusted by Macworld.What to look for in a MacBook chargerPD chargingWhat you need is a Power Delivery (PD) charger that can connect to your MacBook via USB-C. The most common congregate around the standard laptop power requirements: 30W, 45W, 65W, 100W and 140W. All the USB-C chargers tested here are PD chargers and can also fast-charge an iPhone.PD version 3.0 supports up to 100W. PD 3.1 can charge at 140W, which is what you need to fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro. Note that most Thunderbolt 4 ports are rated at PD 3.0—only newer Thunderbolt 5 and the MagSafe port are PD 3.1 so you must use the Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable to fast-charge the models of the 140W 16-inch MacBook Pro older than the M4 versions. You can still power those non-M4 laptops via USB-C or Thunderbolt cable but 100W is the maximum power via that method.WattageA laptop is designed to draw up to a certain amount of watts when running at full power; that is when you are stretching it by using lots of apps or pushing the graphics and video rendering functions—not when you’re just browsing the web. Apple considers this level of max power when it decides on the wattage of the charger it includes with the MacBook. When the laptop is idle or doing mundane jobs, it will draw only a small amount of power from the charger so can get by on a lower-wattage charger. You can use a higher wattage charger on any MacBook—or even iPhone—as the device itself regulates the power input.Fast Charging Apple supports fast charging on its latest MacBook models. When connected with the right charger and cable, you can charge a MacBook battery up to 50 per cent in 30 minutes. The M2 MacBook Air can be fast charged using a 65W or higher power adapter and either the MagSafe or a USB-C charging cable; see our M2 MacBook Air fast-charging tests. The M3/M3 Air requires a 70W charger, which effectively pushes you to 100W for a non-Apple charger.On the 14-inch MacBook Pro, you can fast-charge with a 96W or higher USB-C charger and USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable or USB-C charge cable.On the 16-inch MacBook Pro, you can fast-charge only with an 140W USB-C Power Adapter (PD 3.1) paired with the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable (or a Thunderbolt 5 cable for the M4 model). Look for a power adapter that supports the latest PD 3.1 standard; other USB chargers have a practical maximum of 100W—fine for a 16-inch Pro but not as fast a charge.Power portsMore power ports on a charger make sense as we all have more than one device that needs charging. Look for the total power output if you want to charge more than one device at the same time. When you’re using your MacBook at full power, your charger might not have enough spare power for charging other devices unless you buy a charger with a higher wattage where the excess power can be channeled to your iPhone or AirPods at the same time as you power your laptop.PortabilityApple’s power adapters are mostly larger than third-party chargers that are built using Gallium nitride (GaN)—a material that produces less heat. Less heat means components can be closer together. This means GaN chargers can be smaller than previously possible. Some of today’s GaN chargers are so small they can slip into your pocket, although you’ll still need to coil that USB-C cable somewhere too. Apple is late to the GaN party, but its recent GaN power adapters are certainly smaller than its older models.FoundryDimensions given in our reviews are for the U.S. models (U.K. chargers are often larger due to their sturdy three-pin Type G plug), which are also pictured for each product, but U.K. and E.U. models are mostly also available.Our recommended USB-C chargersBest USB-C wall chargersBest USB-C desktop chargersBest USB-C travel chargersBest USB-C power stripsMost of the PD chargers we review here are wall chargers that plug straight into the power socket. You could also consider a desktop charger, which differs from a straight-to-socket wall charger by connecting to power via a longer plugged cable, so offering greater range. This is sometimes a neater and more versatile desk solution, but isn’t as pocketable for travel as a wall charger that requires just the charger-to-device cable. Another option is a power strip or extender, which has a longer cord and includes AC power sockets you can plug larger devices into. If you need true portability away from a power socket, look for a laptop power bank. We have tested the best portable power banks for MacBook.After our list of recommended chargers we give more specific tips on buying the right charger for your specific model of MacBook Air or MacBook Pro.Best USB-C wall chargers for MacBookHere are our reviews of our favorite MacBook wall chargers. Wall charger plug directly into a power socket and are usually compact enough to fit in your pocket. Some are so small you might lose them in there.Anker Nano Charger 45W – Best single-port 45W wall charger ProsUltra compact45WFoldable plug (U.S. and U.K.)ConsSingle port45W maxPrice When Reviewed:$34.99Best Prices Today: RetailerPrice$25.99View Deal$34.99View DealAnker$34.99View Deal$34.99View Deal$34.99View DealPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideView more pricesProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketDimensions: 1.3 x 1.26 x 1.45in (3.3 x 3.2 x 3.7cm)Weight: 2.11oz (60g)Ports: 1x USB-C (45W PD)Total power output: 45WColors: Black, WhiteBest for: MacBook AirThe single-port Anker Nano 45W Charger is a much better option than the supplied charger for MacBook Air owners as we believe that the in-the-box Apple 30W or 35W Power Adapters are underpowered for the laptop’s potential maximum needs. It is also tiny in size in comparison to the Apple-supplied charger (56% smaller in volume than Apple’s non-GaN 30W Power Adapter, and 20% smaller than the 35W charger), and significantly cheaper while being a safe, trusted brand.Like the other Anker wall chargers, this model features foldable (U.S.) plug pins. The U.K. model is larger due to the ultra-safe Type G format but the plug pins are also foldable.Because the M2/M3/M4 Air can be fast-charged using a higher power adapter, the 65W Rolling Square Supertiny (reviewed below) is a better option for power and around the same size but noticebaly higher in price. It’s not Apple’s prescribed 70W but we’d expect it to charge faster than at 45W. Or you should consider a multiport 65W charger, such as the Ugreen Nexode 65W 3-Port Charger or the Anker Prime 67W GaN Wall Charger—both of which are super-compact and will charge other devices at the same time as you are charging a laptop; see their reviews below.Rolling Square Supertiny – Smallest single-port 65W wall charger ProsCompact65WFoldable plug (U.S.)ConsSingle port65W maxPrice When Reviewed:$49.99Best Prices Today: Retailer PriceCheck on AmazonPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketDimensions: 1.7 x 1.37 x 1.37 inches (4.4 x 3.5 x 3.5cm)Weight: 2.47oz (70g)Ports: 1x USB-C (65W PD 3.0)Total power output: 65WColors: Gray/BlackBest for: MacBook Air; 13-inch MacBook Pro; 8-core 14-inch MacBook ProA single-port 65W charger is the most affordable fast-charger for MacBook Air owners: it won’t overcharge it and it will keep the battery topped up while you are working on your laptop. The Rolling Square Supertiny is well-named, much smaller than the Apple-supplied charger, especially with its foldable U.S. plug pins, and still cheaper—indeed, it’s almost as small as Anker’s 45W charger.Owners of the older 13-inch MacBook Pro and even entry-level 14-inch Pro should consider this charger as the most affordable, premium compact alternative to Apple’s larger, more expensive 67W Power Adapter. To fast-charge a 14in MacBook Pro, you’ll need a 96W or 100W charger.An alternative is the only very slightly less-tiny $29.99 Anker 715 Nano II: a single-port 65W charger that measures 1.65 x 1.42 x 1.74in (4.2 x 3.6 x 4.4cm).Anker Prime 67W GaN Wall Charger (3 Ports) – Best 3-port 65W USB-C wall charger Pros3 ports67WFoldable plug (U.S. and U.K.)Smallest multiport chargerConsNot for the top-end 14-inch MBP67W maxPrice When Reviewed:$49.99Best Prices Today: RetailerPrice$39.99View Deal$49.99View DealAnker$49.99View Deal$49.99View DealPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketDimensions: 1.6 x 1.5 x 1.9in (4 x 3.8 x 5cm)Weight: 4.8oz (136g)Ports: 2x USB-C (67W PD 3.0) and 1x USB-A (22.5W)Total power output: 67WColors: BlackBest for: MacBook Air; 13-inch MacBook Pro; 8-core 14-inch MacBook ProIt might be bigger and heavier than the 45W or 65W single-port Anker chargers, but the Anker Prime 67W Charger offers you much more with its three ports. Each of the two USB-C ports can supply up to 67W, although obviously not at the same time as 67W is the total possible output. And the USB-A port supports up to 22.5W. It is the smallest multiport USB-C wall charger, and it weighs just 136g, an indistinguishable difference to the equally compact 130g Ugreen Nexode 65W 3-Port USB-C Wall Charger.Both the U.S. and the U.K. models feature a foldable plug. The U.K. model is a little larger due to the Type-G 3-pin plug but it’s the smallest and lightest multiport 67W charger available in the U.K.Each port will adapt to your charging requirements. You can charge a laptop at up to 65W using just one of the USB-C ports or charge the laptop at 45W and another device at 20W via the other USB-C port. Another option is to power a laptop at 40W via USB-C, and an iPhone or Apple Watch at up to 22.5W using the USB-A port. Using all three ports, the first USB-C port can power the laptop at 40W, the second an iPhone at 12W, and the USB-A port could power up your AirPods at 12W. It’s a great choice for fast-charging a MacBook Air or just as a multiport solution for the 13in and entry-level 14in MacBook Pro. As with the Ugreen Nexode Pro 65W, reviewed below, it will power the top-end 14-inch MacBook Pro, but a 100W charger can fast-charge that model.Read our full Anker Prime 67W GaN Wall Charger (3 Ports) review Ugreen Nexode Pro 65W – Excellent 3-port 65W USB-C wall charger Pros3 ports65WFoldable plug (U.S.)Lightest multiport chargerConsNot for the top-end 14-inch MBP65W maxPrice When Reviewed:$35.99Best Prices Today: RetailerPriceUgreen$38.99View Deal$49.99View DealPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketDimensions: 2.1 x 1.6 x 1.3 inches (5.5 x 4 x 3.2cm)Weight: 4.1oz (117g)Ports: 2x USB-C (65W PD 3.0) and 1x USB-A (22.5W)Total power output: 65WColors: GrayBest for: MacBook Air; 13-inch MacBook Pro; 8-core 14-inch MacBook ProUgreen’s Nexode Pro 65W USB-C Wall Charger has three ports and is a great choice for a super-compact multiport 65W charger. When choosing 3-port 65W charger both this and the Anker Prime 67W Charger are great solutions. The Anker nipped slightly in front by being a little cheaper and a tiny bit more powerfu, but it’s as close a call as you’ll find.The plug pins on the U.S. model fold in neatly to make it very pocketable for a three-port charger. Note that the pins on the U.K. version do not fold, so users from that country should consider the older but still great non-Pro Nexode 65W Charger (£34.99) that does have foldable U.K. plug pins or the Anker Prime 67W Charger reviewed above.It really is a tiny wonder. The Anker Prime 67W Wall Charger is just as compact, and both make fine mid-sized MacBook chargers.The two USB-C ports each support 65W, and the lower USB-A port can charge at up to 22.5W. Other same-time charging options include 45W for a laptop and 20W for a second device, or 45W plus 15W shared between the other two outputs. And you can fast-charge an M2 MacBook Air when using just one of the 65W ports.While it’s perfectly suitable for the 14in MacBook Pro, a 100W power adapter can fast-charge that model using either a USB-C charging cable or Apple’s own MagSafe 3 cable.Ugreen Nexode Chargers With Retractable Cable – Most convenient multi-Port USB-C wall chargers Pros2 ports and built-in cable65W or 100WFoldable plug (U.S.)ConsLarger than chargers without cablePrice When Reviewed:From $49.99Best Prices Today: RetailerPrice$39.99View Deal$49.99View DealUgreen$49.99View DealPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketDimensions (65W): 2.1 x 2 x 2 inches (5.3 x 5.1 x 5cm)Dimensions (100W): 2.1 x 1.6 x 1.3 inches (6.9 x 5.7 x 5cm)Weight (65W): 6.9oz (195g)Weight (100W): 9.9oz (280g)Ports (65W): 1x USB-C cable (60W PD 3.0), 1x USB-C (65W) and 1x USB-A (22.5W)Ports (100W): 2x USB-C (100W PD 3.0), 1x USB-C (30W) and 1x USB-A (22.5W)Total power output: 65W and 100WColors: GrayBest for (65W): MacBook Air; 13-inch MacBook ProBest for (100W): 14-inch MacBook ProTiny wall chargers are great for portability but you still have to remember to carry a cable around in your bag. Ugreen has a range of power chargers with built-in retractable USB-C cables that mean it doesn’t matter if you are caught without a separate cable—your device will still be charged if you pack one of these in your bag.Due to the integrated cable these are a little larger and heavier than the chargers reviewed above but they are a lot more convenient.The 65W model has two ports alongside the 65W USB-C cable output, while the 100W model has three. The first USB-C port on each equals the power output of the cable but remember that the maximum output is 65W or 100W; using the other ports at the same time will reduce their power somewhat. For example, on the 100W Nexode, if you use the first two USB-C ports the output will be 65W and 30W respectively.Read our full Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger with Retractable USB-C Cable review Satechi OntheGo 67W Slim Wall Charger – Slimmest multi-Port USB-C wall charger Pros2 ports67WSuper slimFoldable plugColor optionsConsU.S. plug onlyPrice When Reviewed:$59.99Best Prices Today: RetailerPrice$59.99View DealSatechi$59.99View DealPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketDimensions: 3.2 x 2 x 0.7 inches (8.1 x 5.2 x 1.7cm)Weight: 3.4oz (96g)Ports: 1x USB-C (67W) and 1x USB-C (20W)Total power output: 67WColors: Desert Rose, Sand, BlackBest for: MacBook Air; 13-inch MacBook Pro; 8-core 14-inch MacBook ProWhy are most chargers dark gray or black?

But if you prefer the port layout, the 140W Anker charger is a great solution.Read our full Anker 140W 4-Port PD 3.1 Charger review Plugable 140W USB-C Power Adapter – Best budget one-port wall charger for 16in MacBook Pro Pros140W PD 3.1 chargingSmaller than Apple 140W chargerFoldable plug (U.S.)Least expensive premium optionConsSingle portAvailable with U.S. plug onlyPrice When Reviewed:$65.95Best Prices Today: RetailerPrice$65.95View Deal$65.95View Deal$65.95View Deal$65.95View DealPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketDimensions: 1.24 x 2.99 x 2.95in (3.1 x 7.6 x 7.5cm)Weight: 8.3oz (235g)Ports: 1x USB-C (140W PD 3.1)Total power output: 140WColors: WhiteBest for: MacBook Air; 13-inch/14-inch/16-inch MacBook ProThe Plugable 140W USB PD 3.1 charger looks a lot like Apple’s own but is smaller and cheaper. Like Apple’s 140W charger it has just the one port, which is fine if you will use it with only one device, but multi-port alternatives, such as the Baseus PicoGo 140W, Anker 140W Charger or Ugreen Nexode 160W Charger reviewed above, offer more flexibility.Combined with Apple’s MagSafe cable (or certified 240W USB-C cable for Thunderbolt 5 models), this will fast-charge the 16-inch MacBook Pro, and makes a great spare for that laptop if you are based in North America.Best desktop chargers for MacWall chargers, like those reviewed above, are more portable and plug straight into a power socket but a desktop charger offers more charging ports and often a higher total power output. It connects to the socket with its own plug and cable. The benefit of one super-powered desktop charger is that you no longer need so many power points or individual wall chargers. It will reduce desk clutter and end a world of snaking cables slithering off the table to find a power outlet.Ugreen Nexode 500W – Most powerful desktop charger Pros6 portsMassive 500W total output140W PD 3.1 chargingConsTop port hogs 240WUSB-C cable not includedPrice When Reviewed:$249.99Best Prices Today: RetailerPrice$199.99View Deal$249.99View DealUgreen$249.99View DealPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketDimensions: 5.75 x 4.5 x 2.4 inches (14.6 x 11.5 x 6.1cm)Weight: 4.8lb (2.2kg)Ports: 1x USB-C (240W PD 3.1), 4x USB-C (100W PD 3.0), 1x USB-A (20W)Total power output: 500W*Colors: GrayBest for: 14-inch/16-inch MacBook ProThis beast, the Ugreen Nexode 500W Desktop Charger, can output an almost ridiculous 500W through its six well-powered ports, including the top port that can output a mighty 240W all on its own. 240W is far more than any USB-C-powered device requires, so it’s overkill in a conference room, office desk-bank or classroom where we’d expect this charger to sit. It will easily fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro but because that top port keeps 240W of the 500W all to itself and the Pro needs only 140W, that’s 100W out of the 500W going unused. It could be useful if your electric bike has a USB-C port...Ugreen lists 58 charging configurations in the user manual. If you use just three of the ports each will give you its maximum, but once you add a fourth, fifth or sixth, the remaining ports are compromised somewhat with the otherwise 100W ports dropping to 60W.60W is enough to keep most laptops charged up and in use unless they are really pushing it on hungry video-editing applications, so a common charging configuration could be: 240W+60W+60W+60W+60W+20W. That’s five laptops and a fast-charging iPhone or iPad. Impressive!* 500W is certainly possible—for example, 240W+100W+100W+60W—but that wasted 100W of power on the top port makes this a 400W charger in reality. 400W is still a lot of power so it’s still the power champ of desktop chargers if you’re after the most in one box.The closest competition to the Nexode 500W is Ugreen’s five-port Nexode 300W ($199.99 / £149.99) reviewed below. The 300W model boasts a 140W port rather than 240W and only two at 100W, with the fourth USB-C port limited to 45W, although its USB-A port is a tiny bit more powerful at 22.5W.Read our full Ugreen Nexode 500W Desktop Charger review Anker Prime Charger (200W, 6 Ports) – Best mixed USB-A/USB-C desktop charger Pros6 ports200W maxSuper-compactAffordableShips with 1.5m USB-C cableConsCan’t fast-charge 16in MacBook ProPrice When Reviewed:$79.99Best Prices Today: RetailerPrice$69.99View Deal$79.99View DealAnker$79.99View Deal$79.99View Deal$79.99View DealPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideView more pricesProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketDimensions: 4.4 x 3 x 1.4 inches (11.2 x 7.6 x 3.5cm)Weight: 1.24lb (563g)Ports: 4x USB-C (100W PD 3.0), 2x USB-A (22.5W)Total power output: 200WColors: GrayBest for: MacBook Air; 13-inch/14-inch MacBook ProThis tiny Anker Prime 200W Desktop Charger is a hero in terms of total output and number of ports (6) but a lot smaller than you might expect. You wouldn’t want it carried on your person, but it’s compact enough for travel purposes. We’d expect it to stay put, however, and charge multiple devices over a few desks. It can charge up to four USB-C devices (three laptops and a USB-C tablet) and two smartphones or other devices at the same time with its giant 200W of total charging power.Despite the 200W total output, the most one port can manage is 100W, which is fine for charging even Apple’s largest laptop but not for fast-charging the 16in Pro.This is a great option if you need to charge up to three MacBooks at a time—for example, two at 65W and one at 45W, and there’s capacity to spare to power another device at 20W.Using all six ports would allow a combination of one 65W PD, two 45W PD, one 20W, and two 12W for less hungry devices, such as iPhone, AirPods or iPad.It ships with a 5ft (1.5M) USB-C cable.Ugreen has a similar 200W USB-C GaN Charger with four USB-C and two USB-A, but it’s larger with a lesser-powered USB-C lineup.Plugable 10-Port PS-10CC USB-C Charger – Best desktop charger for prioritization Pros10x 100W USB-C portsPriority chargingConsNo USB-A (if you need it)100W maxPrice When Reviewed:$119.95Best Prices Today: RetailerPrice$119.95View Deal$119.95View Deal$129.99View Deal$142.47View DealPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketDimensions: 10 x 1.8 x 0.6 inches (25.5 x 4.5 x 1.65cm)Weight: 7.6oz (216g)Ports: 10x USB-C (100W PD 3.0)Total power output: 100WColors: GrayBest for: MacBook Air; 13-inch/14-inch MacBook ProMost multi-port chargers reserve specific maximum power output to each port, known as rules-based charging. The 10-port Plugable PS-10CC is the first USB-C charging station to use real-time intelligent software-based priority charging that distributes power across all connected devices—prioritized in the order you choose from left to right. As devices reach full charge, the now greater available power is reallocated down the line. As the first devices attain full battery status, the PS-10CC automatically shifts the excess power to the next set of connected devices, which should ensure that all receive the required power in the shortest possible time.While there’s a maximum of 100W of power available across the 10 charging ports at one time and some laptop might request that full 100W, commonly it will be far less—often ranging from 30-65W—so multiple laptops may charge at the same time in this scenario. If ten is too much, Plugable also sells a slightly cheaper six-port version, the PS-6CC. Note that you’ll need to add your own wall charger and charging cable to get power to the PS-6CC and PS-10CC.If you require a higher total output—for example to charge two or three laptops at the same time—then look for a multi-port desktop charger with a higher maximum. For example, the $99 Ugreen Nexode 200W or $149 Satechi 6-Port Charging Station, both reviewed below, that can output 200W over multiple USB-C ports, although not as intelligently as the Plugable charger.Read our full Plugable 10-Port PS-10CC USB-C Charger review Anker Prime Charger (250W, 6 Ports) – Best customizable desktop charger Pros6 ports140W PD 3.1 charging250W maxCustom port control modesVisual charging displayClock ModeConsClock has no alarmPrice When Reviewed:$149.99Best Prices Today: RetailerPrice$99.98View Deal$99.99View DealAnker$149.99View Deal$149.99View DealPrice comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwideProductPricePrice comparison from BackmarketDimensions: 4.2 × 1.6 × 3.6 inches (10.6 × 4 × 9.3cmWeight: 1.41lb (640g)Ports: 1x USB-C (140W PD 3.1), 3x USB-C (100W PD 3.0), 1x USB-A (22.5W)Total output: 250WColors: GrayBest for: MacBook Air; 13-/14-/16-inch MacBook ProSimilar to the Anker Prime Charger (200W, 6 Ports, GaN) reviewed above, the Anker Prime Charger (250W, 6 Ports) adds 140W PD 3.1 functionality that is particularly useful for owners of the 16-inch MacBook Pro.It too has six USB ports: one 140W USB-C port (PD 3.1) and three 100W USB-C (PD 3.0) ports, plus two 22.5W USB-A ports on the side. Maximum power output is 250W so you could fast-charge a 140W laptop and still have over 100W for another laptop and a smaller device.It comes with an impressive set of port charging prioritization and customization functions using the tactile twisting smart control dial next to the USB-A ports. You can manually set power priority for one or two ports as you require (Port Priority Mode) or make sure that the laptops are at the front of the charging queue (Dual-Laptop Mode). A Low Current Mode helps to preserve battery life of phones and low-power devices. The default AI Power Mode allows the charger itself to work out the best prioritization of output by port.The highly visible 2.26-inch LCD display gives you visual feedback on the charging status and speed of each USB-C port.

Two of its charging towers will appeal more to Mac users.Our favorite is the 100W Charging Station, a tower boasting six USB ports and three AC power sockets. There are three USB-C and three USB-A. The top two USB-C are rated at 100W—with potential to fast-charge a 14-inch MacBook Pro or any size MacBook Air—with the third at 30W—enough to fast charge an iPhone or iPad. Below them are three 15W USB-A ports.Maximum power output from the USB ports is 100W, so that total needs to be spread around devices in using them at the same time. 100W is enough to charge a MacBook and an iPhone or iPad and maybe enough to power up your Apple Watch or AirPods case while you’re at it.That USB max power limit doesn’t affect your ability to use the three AC power sockets: one on each side and one at the back. Total simultaneous power output from USB and AC together is 1250W.There’s a lesser-powered 65W Charging Station; also available in the U.K. and E.U., although those regions cap the number of AC sockets to two compared to three in the U.S. We’re less enamored of this 65W version not just because of the lower power but also the fact that there are more legacy USB-A ports than modern USB-C. You can’t fast-charge Apple devices from a USB-A port so we always prefer USB-C, with maybe one or two old-school USB-A ports there just in case.Choose the right USB-C cableYou need to connect the charger to your MacBook using a USB-C to USB-C charging cable or USB-C to MagSafe cable.If your Mac has a MagSafe 3 port (MacBook Air introduced in 2022; 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro introduced in 2021), you can use Apple’s own USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable (PD 3.1-supporting 240W maximum). As well as freeing up one of the MacBook’s Thunderbolt ports, this can protect from accidental cable pulls and is required for MacBook fast-charging on 16-inch MacBook Pro models that don’t boast Thunderbolt 5 ports. Apple’s MagSafe cable is expensive at $49/£49 compared to a quality USB-C cable. Apple’s USB-C to USB-C charging cables (100W maximum) cost $19/£19 but you can find quality USB-C charging cables cheaper, for example from Ugreen (Amazon.com / Amazon U.K.).Few of the chargers reviewed here come with a USB-C cable. Of course, you can use the cable that shipped with your MacBook, but having a spare is always useful. We’ve rounded up the best USB-C and Thunderbolt cables.Best charger for MacBook AirThe MacBook Air ships with either a 30W or 35W Power Adapter, but we recommend at least a 45W charger for the MacBook Air (Intel-based as well as M1/M2/M3/M4 models).For a 45W charger with just one port, the ultra-compact Anker Nano 45W Charger (U.S. / U.K.) is a great option, and over 50% smaller than Apple’s 30W charger. It’s more powerful than Apple’s 35W Power Adapter and less expensive. It has just the one port, but the amount of spare charge you’d get using a 35W charger with a MacBook Air isn’t likely to offer much if you are also trying to charge even your AirPods unless the laptop was sitting doing not much at all at the time. The Rolling Square 65W Supertiny charger (U.S. / U.K.) is just as small and offers more juice.Going for a 65W or even 100W multiport charger makes more sense. Anker’s three-port Anker Prime 67W GaN Wall Charger (U.S. / U.K.) can charge a laptop at 45W and an iPhone or iPad at 20W. It has two USB-C ports (both capable of PD charging at 65W, although not at the same time) and a 22.5W USB-A port. You could even charge a MacBook Air at 40W (still higher than Apple’s supplied charger), an iPhone at 12W and a set of AirPods at 5W. Or fast-charge an M2 MacBook Air.Ugreen’s 3-port Nexode Pro 65W USB-C Charger (U.S. / U.K.) is similar, although a smidge larger. Using all three ports, you could charge a laptop at 45W and two smaller devices at 15W shared.Best charger for 13-inch or 14-inch MacBook ProThe 13-inch MacBook Pro shipped with a 67W Power Adapter, so you can look to a 65W charger to save on money and size. You won’t notice the lost 2W.Your choice of charger for the 14-inch MacBook Pro depends on the model. The plain M2/M3/M4/M5 14-inch MacBook Pro ships with a 70W adapter as does the entry-level M3/M4 Pro model, while the higher-end M3/M4 Pro and M3/M4 Max models ship with a 96W charger. Note that the plain M5 MacBook Pro now ships without a charger in the U.K. and E.U.To make things simpler, just plan on matching any MacBook Pro with a 100W charger. A 65W charger will suffice, but you won’t get fast-charging like you will with a 100W model. Anker has the most affordable single-port charger, the 715 Nano II 65W (U.S. / U.K.). For a multiport 100W charger we rate Ugreen’s 4-port Nexode 100W USB-C Wall Charger (U.S. / U.K.) or the Anker 737 GaNPrime 120W Charger (U.S. / U.K.), which is smaller and has a higher total power output but features one less port. Very similar to the Ugreen 100W Charger is the Anker Prime 100W GaN Wall Charger (U.S. / U.K.), which both U.S. and U.K. users will appreciate for its foldable plug prongs.As well as fast-charging a 14in Pro using the 100W port, you can charge at full 65W power and have spare to charge another device at up to 30W, or charge the laptop a little slower and charge three other devices, say your iPhone, iPad and AirPods.Owners of the newer 16-inch MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 5 ports can use either Apple’s MagSafe 3 cable or any certified 240W USB-C cable to fast-charge their laptop. Older 16-inch models with Thunderbolt 4 ports must use the MagSafe 3 cable for fast charging but can still receive 100W of power from 100W USB-C cables.Simon JaryBest charger for 16-inch MacBook ProUntil recently Apple made this recommendation easy. Its 140W Power Adapter (U.S. / U.K.) will fast-charge the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2021 and later models) from 0-50 percent charge in 30 minutes as it supports the most up-to-date PD 3.1 charing. The newer 16-inch MacBook Pro models (2024 and later) boast Thunderbolt 5 ports that support PD 3.1 so you can use 240W-certified USB-C cables as well as Apple’s expensive $49 USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable. For older 16‐inch MacBook Pro (2021 & 2023) the Thunderbolt 4 ports are PD 3.0 rated rather than 3.1, so you’ll need the Apple MagSafe 3 cable for 140W fast charging. Anker, Ugreen and Plugable have now released their own PD 3.1 fast-charging USB-C 140W chargers that are cheaper and smaller than Apple’s super-tall 140W charger. The best value is the $49.95 Plugable 140W USB-C Power Adapter.The Ugreen Nexode Pro 160W Charger (U.S. / U.K.) is much smaller than the Apple 140W charger and boasts four charging ports. Fast-charge the 16-inch MacBook using the top USB-C port, and luxuriate with 100W and 30W ports below, and a 22.5W USB-A port at the top—although remember that the maximum total output is 160W. As the most able PD 3.1 charger, we recommend this as a portable second charger for 16in MacBook Pro owners if they travel with their laptop a lot. The cheaper Anker 140W 4-Port PD 3.1 Charger (U.S. / U.K.) is interesting with its four downward-hanging ports but maxes at 140W compared to Ugreen’s 160W. The Anker Prime Charger (U.S. / U.K.) has just three downward ports but a 140W max.If you can live without the fast charging, a 100W charger should be ample for most situations, and here there are more options with multi-charging opportunities.Ugreen’s Nexode 100W USB-C Wall Charger (U.S. / U.K.) has four charging ports, but for a budget one-port 100W wall charger it’s hard to beat the Nekteck 100W USB-C Charger (U.S), which comes with its own 2m (6.5ft) USB-C cable.And, again, Ugreen’s powerful Nexode 200W USB-C Desktop Charger (U.S. / U.K.) is a great, if less portable, option.Which charger does each MacBook need?Here are the power specs of the batteries and power adapters that Apple ships with each of its MacBooks:M1 MacBook Air: 30W Power AdapterM2 MacBook Air: 30W or 35W Power Adapter depending on 8-or-10-core GPU (Graphics Processing Unit); fast-charge capable with 70W charger or higher13-inch M3 MacBook Air: 30W or 35W Power Adapter depending on 8-or-10-core GPU (Graphics Processing Unit); fast-charge capable with 70W charger or higher13-inch M4 MacBook Air: 30W or 35W Power Adapter depending on 8-or-10-core GPU (Graphics Processing Unit); fast-charge capable with 70W charger or higher15-inch M3 MacBook Air: 35W Power Adapter; fast-charge capable with 70W charger or higher15-inch M4 MacBook Air: 35W Power Adapter; fast-charge capable with 70W charger or higher13-inch M1 MacBook Pro: 61W Power Adapter13-inch M2 MacBook Pro: 67W Power Adapter14-inch M2 Pro/Max MacBook Pro: 67W or 96W Power Adapter depending on 10-or-12-core GPU; fast-charge capable with 96W charger or higher14-inch M3 Pro/Max MacBook Pro: 70W or 96W Power Adapter depending on 14-or-16-core GPU; fast-charge capable with 96W charger or higher14-inch M4 Pro/Max MacBook Pro: 70W or 96W Power Adapter depending on 14-or-16-core GPU; fast-charge capable with 96W charger or higher14-inch M5 MacBook Pro: 70W or 96W Power Adapter; fast-charge capable with 96W charger or higher15-inch MacBook Pro: 87W Power Adapter16-inch MacBook Pro: 140W Power Adapter fast-charger FAQ 1.Can you use a charger with a higher wattage than your laptop?Yes, you can safely use a laptop charger with a higher wattage as the laptop will only ever draw the amount of power required at the time. If your laptop was supplied with a 35W charger it will never draw more than 35W unless being fast-charged, so you can use a 65W, 90W or higher charger. To reassure you even further, you can safely charge your 5W AirPods with a 240W charger if you wish.If the charger has multiple ports that extra juice will mean you can charge other devices at the same time.2.Can you use a charger with a lower wattage than your laptop?You can but you should try to avoid using a lower wattage charger than what your laptop requires. A 30W charger can’t supply sufficient power for a 90W laptop’s needs. At the least, your laptop is likely to run out of power while you are using it. At the worst, you could damage the laptop or create dangerous problems for the charger.The under-powered charger won’t have enough power to give to your laptop and it therefore has to work harder to try to match the needs of your laptop. The danger is that this can cause overheating and potentially fire.For more details read our explainer What wattage USB-C charger can you use to charge a MacBook?3.Must I use Apple’s MagSafe 3 charging cable with a MacBook?Most modern MacBooks feature a MagSafe 3 charging port, and ship with a 2m USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable, which otherwise cost a hefty $49 / £49 to buy separately. However, you can use a USB-C charging cable instead if you don’t have a MagSafe 3 cable to hand.Check the wattage rating of the USB-C charging cable, which are often rated at only up to 60W. If you need faster, look for at least a 100W USB-C charging cable, which is optimum for fast-charging all MacBook models except for the 16-inch MacBook Pro. That model requires 140W of power to fast-charge. Older (2021 -2023) 16-inch models have 100W Thunderbolt 4 ports so require the MagSafe 3 cable to fast-charge, but newer (2024) 16-inch Pros boast 240W Thunderbolt 5 ports so you can use any of the ports with a 240W-certified USB-C cable as an alternative.
