The MacBook has been around for nearly 15 years, and has had nearly as many chargers in the same timeframe. Replacing a MacBook charger depends on the year of the MacBook in question, so which Power Adapter is the right for your MacBook?
All MacBooks do not use the same charger. Apple has introduced 10 different chargers since the first MacBook came out in 2006. Since then, 13 MacBooks, 18 MacBook Air laptops, and 48 MacBook Pro laptops have released.
Below is a list of all 10 Power Adapter chargers Apple has released to date.
| MagSafe Power Adapter | USB-C Power Adapter |
| 45W MagSafe Power Adapter | 29W USB-C Power Adapter |
| 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter | 30W USB-C Power Adapter |
| 60W MagSafe Power Adapter | 61W USB-C Power Adapter |
| 60W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter | 87W USB-C Power Adapter |
| 85W MagSafe Power Adapter | |
| 60W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter |
Which Power Adapter should I Use for My MacBook?
I have curated a list of every MacBook ever created by Apple categorized by the type of MacBook, and then sorted by release date. I have also included the model number of the MacBook in question, just to add more clarity, should you need to know what power adapter you need for your given MacBook.
Below each MacBook model listed below, you will find the type of Power Adapter it requires, showing the wattage and name of the Power Adapter.
For your convenience, I have listed all of them below. Simply click on the type of MacBook you have, (MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro), to go to that section.
