Match & price

Full answer

Shop by the wattage Apple published for MacBook Air (M2, 2022) — the included 30W or 35W Dual USB-C adapter, MagSafe 3 cable, and the 70W fast-charge class — not a random phone brick.

Full answer

Apple’s tech specs for MacBook Air (M2, 2022) list which power adapter ships in the box by GPU and storage config, and state that the laptop is fast-charge capable with a 70W USB-C Power Adapter. MagSafe 3 and the two Thunderbolt / USB4 ports can all take charge. Full method for reading any brick: how to pick.

Official specs

Included adapters

From Apple Support tech specs for MacBook Air (M2, 2022) (document 111867, accessed 3 Sep 2026). The box also includes a USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable (2 m).

  • Config M2 with 8-core GPU Included adapter 30W USB-C Power Adapter Also in the box USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable (2 m) Note Apple’s standard include for the 8-core GPU SKU. Replace lost cubes in the 30W shopping class.
  • Config M2 with 10-core GPU + 512GB storage Included adapter 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter Also in the box USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable (2 m) Note Also configurable on the 8-core GPU build. Two USB-C ports on the brick; cable sold separately if you only buy the adapter.

Battery and Power on Apple 111867 also says “Fast-charge capable with 70W USB-C Power Adapter.” That is a separate, higher SKU — not what ships in the box for either include.

Fast charge (67W / 70W class)

Fast charge (67W / 70W class)

Apple’s fast-charge article (102378, accessed 3 Sep 2026) covers MacBook Air introduced in 2022 or later: up to about 50% battery in around 30 minutes with the right adapter and cable.

  • Adapters Apple lists for Air 2022+ 67W, 70W, 96W, or 140W USB-C Power Adapter Cable USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable or USB-C charge cable Result ~50% in ~30 minutes (Apple’s wording; charge time varies)
  • M2 tech-spec wording Fast-charge capable with 70W USB-C Power Adapter (111867) Older test note Apple’s May 2022 M2 Air fast-charge test used a 67W USB-C adapter (A2518) + MagSafe 3 Shopping class nearby 65W GaN is the common third-party class next to Apple’s 67W/70W — it is not Apple’s 70W SKU
  • Ports that take charge MagSafe 3 charging port Also Two Thunderbolt / USB4 ports (Charging, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3, USB 4) Why it matters You can charge from MagSafe 3 or either Thunderbolt/USB4 port with a suitable USB-C PD source
What wattage to buy

What wattage to buy

Match what you lost, or step up only if you want faster daily top-ups. Links go to our wattage pages or Apple’s OEM SKU class.

  • If you lost… The included 30W cube (8-core GPU) Buy 30W USB-C PD / GaN (Anker Nano 30W class) or Apple 30W OEM if you find a cart Cable Keep using your USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable, or a USB-C PD charge cable into Thunderbolt/USB4
  • If you lost… The included 35W Dual (10-core + 512GB, or configured 8-core) Buy Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter (OEM class on the 30W page) Cable Brick does not include a cable — use MagSafe 3 or USB-C PD
  • If you want… Faster daily charge (Apple’s ~50% in ~30 min class) Buy Apple 70W USB-C (OEM), or shop the nearby 65W GaN class — remember 65W ≠ Apple 70W Cable MagSafe 3 or USB-C charge cable; for 100W+ headroom see 100W and e-marked 5A notes
  • If you already have… An e-marked / high-watt USB-C cable and a 65W–100W GaN brick Do Plug MagSafe 3 or either Thunderbolt/USB4 port; confirm the brick’s single-port map still delivers laptop watts when phones share ports Skip USB-A charge-only leads and unlabeled “phone” bricks under the included 30W/35W class for all-day use
