What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing describes compatibility as 2012–2017 and names models including A1398, A1502, A1425, A1465, A1466 and A1424. It explicitly excludes older L-Tip and later USB-C or Magnetic 3 models, so verify the exact computer model and connector before ordering. The input is inconsistently stated as 230 Volts and AC 100-240V-1.5A 50-60Hz. The listing also gives general 13/15-inch compatibility while naming individual models, so treat the model-specific list as a check rather than assuming every Mac in that size range fits.

Those concerns matter for a frequently used corded charger, while the stated 85W output and model-specific T-Tip compatibility remain listing claims rather than evidence of fit or performance for an individual computer.
