Mac Book Pro Charger 85W L-Tip for MacBook Pro 13/15/17in - Compact

Our review of the Mac Book Pro Charger 85W L-tip examines a compact replacement designed for older MacBook Pro models before mid 2012. This adapter is aimed at owners of 13, 15 and 17in MacBook Pro laptops who need a portable, foldable charger that mirrors the first generation L-tip design; the single biggest reason to consider it is compatibility with legacy MacBook Pro power ports and the convenience of a 6.6ft cable and foldable plug for travel.

Key Features

• 85W Output (Compatible with 60W): Provides up to DC 18.5V 4.6A so it can deliver full power to 15in and 17in MacBook Pro models and also works with some 60W systems.
• First Generation L-tip Connector: Uses the original L-tip design and an LED on the DC head that shows amber while charging and green when fully charged for clear status feedback.
• Wide Voltage Input: Accepts AC 100-240V, 1.5A 50-60Hz so it works worldwide with standard mains voltages without a separate converter.
• Compact, Foldable Plug: The charger is lighter and smaller than the original with a plug that folds 90 degrees, making it easier to pack in a bag or clothing pocket for travel.
• Included 6.6ft Cable: Ships with a long original-style power cord that gives flexibility in hotel rooms, workspaces, and around furniture.

Who It's For

This charger is best for owners of older MacBook Pro laptops (early models through before mid 2012) who need a replacement or spare that uses the original L-tip connector and supports higher wattage for 15in and 17in machines. It also suits travelers who value a foldable plug and a longer cable for flexibility.

Those with newer MacBook models that use MagSafe 2 or USB-C should look elsewhere, and anyone who needs long-term, heavy daily use may prefer an official OEM adapter if they prioritize vendor warranty and extended durability assurances.
