30W USB-C PD / GaN charger

A 30W USB-C Power Delivery charger is Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Air included-adapter class: enough to replace a lost 30W cube, not Apple’s 67W/70W fast-charge adapters, and light for a 61W 13″ Pro or a 65W HP/Dell brick.

Apple lists a 30W USB-C Power Adapter for 13-inch MacBook Air (2018–2021, and 13-inch models from 2022 on). MacBook Air (M2, 2022) with the 8-core GPU includes 30W; the 10-core GPU + 512GB config includes a 35W Dual USB-C adapter instead. Fast charge on that Air is documented at 70W, not 30W. If you want one GaN pack for laptop + phone, 65W is the everyday step up.

Who it fits

Laptop classes from manufacturer wattage tables (prices re-checked 4 Sep 2026; wattage sources accessed 3 Sep 2026), not a scraped comparison chart:

• Laptop MacBook Air (M2, 2022) 8-core GPU Adapter Included 30W USB-C; fast-charge capable with 70W Why Matches the included adapter (Apple 111867). Not Apple’s 70W fast-charge figure.
• Laptop MacBook Air (2022 or later), 13-inch Adapter 30W USB-C (13-inch only), 35W Dual, 67W, or 70W Why Matches Apple’s 30W SKU for 13-inch Airs (109509). 15-inch Airs are not in the 30W row.
• Laptop MacBook Air (2018 through 2021) Adapter 30W USB-C Power Adapter and USB-C Charge Cable Why Matches Apple 109509 for those years.
• Laptop MacBook Air (M2, 2022) 10-core GPU + 512GB Adapter Included 35W Dual USB-C; fast-charge capable with 70W Why Below the included 35W Dual. Apple still allows a lower-watt USB-C PD adapter; expect slower charge. Prefer 35W Dual or 65W.
• Laptop 13-inch MacBook Pro (2016 or later) Adapter 61W USB-C Why Below the recommended 61W. Apple still allows it; expect Slow Charger under load. Prefer 65W.
• Laptop Dell XPS 13 9370 / 9310 Adapter 45W USB Type-C Why Below the Dell manual’s 45W adapter. May charge slowly or fail to hold the battery under load. Prefer 45W or 65W.
• Laptop HP Chromebook / thin & light class Adapter 45W USB-C (HP Tech Takes) Why Below HP’s 45W Chromebook / thin-laptop recommendation. Prefer 45W.

Anker’s Nano 30W copy names earbuds, phone, tablet, and MacBook Air — that is Anker’s list, not a complete industry table. Apple documents that a USB-C PD adapter may be higher or lower wattage than the recommended SKU (109509). Full method: how to pick.

What 30W means on a USB-C PD brick

30W is the total ceiling on a single-port 30W cube. Anker Nano Charger (30W), model A2147, publishes 20V⎓1.5A (30W Max) on its USB-C port. That is a 20V / 1.5A PD contract — no 5A e-marker required. Still use a USB-C PD cable, not a USB-A charge-only lead. Multi-port 30W packs split watts when more than one device is plugged in.
