| Model | Recommended | Minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| MacBook Air M1 (2020) | 65W USB-C PD | 30W | 67W Apple adapter = overkill; 65W GaN is perfect |
| MacBook Air M2 (2022) | 67W USB-C PD | 30W | Apple rates at 67W max for fast charge |
| MacBook Air M3 (2024) | 67W USB-C PD | 30W | Same spec as M2 — 65W third-party GaN works perfectly |
| MacBook Pro 14" (M3/M3 Pro/Max) | 96W USB-C PD | 67W | 96W for full-speed fast charge via MagSafe equivalent cable |
| MacBook Pro 16" (M3 Pro/Max) | 140W USB-C PD | 96W | Requires 140W for full-speed; 100W GaN charges slower |

- Multi-port GaN chargers let you replace your phone charger too — one fewer adapter
