On the road with the 13-inch MacBook Pro

On the power charging thing, the 15" draws 85W and the 13" 60W, I believe this is at 20V, so we're talking over 4A, the USB-C charging cable they come with is rated for 5A.

My point is that most phone chargers will give you less than 1A, that means they would charge one of these laptops very slowly, maybe not even providing enough power to keep the laptop running if the battery is low.

You're still going to want to bring the laptop charging brick wherever you go.

At the very least, not having to bring separate laptop and phone chargers and cables is a convenience even if we had to err on the side of the bulkier of the two. Heck, there seems to be enough of a market that products like this from Twelve South exist https://www.twelvesouth.com/product/plugbug-world
