Title: Apple tries to hide that the power adaptors of MacBook Pro models are insufficient
Post by: Redaktion on March 14, 2026, 18:25:09
Apple offers the same power adaptors for its MacBook Pro models for years now - 96W for the 14-inch model and 140W for the 16-inch model. Our reviews of the latest M5 generation show that they are insufficient, and that Apple is not very transparent about it.

Yeah. Let's include a charger that 99.99% of people will never use. Great idea... /s

This site is descending into being a joke.

This site is descending into being a joke.

It would be very annoying to not be able to use a very expensive laptop because it needs to charge and the charger is not strong enough to charge and work at the same time.

This thing is 2-4 times the price of my Acer 7480u and that has no problems charging and working at the same time.

They do the same thing with the iphone, the charger thermal throttles to survive.
