Apple sells a 30W USB-C charger for $49. A 67W charger for $69. And they don't include either one in the box anymore.
The good news: you don't need to buy from Apple. USB-C Power Delivery is an open standard, and third-party GaN chargers can match or exceed Apple's performance at the same price — while doing much more.
What Wattage Does Your MacBook Need?
- MacBook Air (M1, M2, M3): 30–67W for full-speed charging
- MacBook Pro 13": 61–67W for full-speed charging
- MacBook Pro 14": 67–96W for full-speed charging
- MacBook Pro 16": 96–140W for full-speed charging
The NexCharger 65W GaN Charger covers MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13" at full speed, and will charge larger MacBook Pros at a reduced (but still useful) rate.
Is It Safe to Use a Third-Party Charger With a MacBook?
Yes — with an important caveat. The charger must be USB-C PD compliant. USB-C PD is an open standard that Apple's MacBooks are designed to work with. The MacBook negotiates the charging parameters with the charger, so a quality USB-C PD charger is just as safe as Apple's own.
Apple's own support documentation confirms that USB-C PD chargers from third parties are compatible with MacBooks.
Why the NexCharger 65W Is the Smart MacBook Charger
Apple's 67W charger costs $69 and only charges your MacBook. The NexCharger 65W GaN Charger costs $79 and charges your MacBook and your iPhone and your iPad — simultaneously. It also includes interchangeable international plug heads, making it the only charger you need for domestic and international travel.
The Cable Matters Too
The NexCharger 65W includes a 1M USB-C to USB-C cable rated for full 65W delivery. This is the cable you need for MacBook charging — and it's included in the box.
For MacBook Air Users Specifically
The MacBook Air M3 supports up to 67W charging. The NexCharger 65W delivers 65W — effectively identical performance to Apple's own charger, at the same price, with the added benefit of charging all your other devices too.
Stop overpaying for Apple's single-device charger. Get the NexCharger 65W and charge everything from one plug.
