If you think you’ll be using your laptop on the couch and the closest plug is across the room, make sure the cable that comes with the charger is long enough to reach. For the ones that do, they might not be long enough.

Cable Length: Many of the chargers on this list don’t include a cable.

If extra ports are important to you, make sure you choose a charger that has a few extra charging ports built-in. But many of these MacBook charger replacements are also capable of charging other devices, like your smartphone.

Available Ports: If you’re looking for a brick to charge your MacBook and only your MacBook, that’s totally fine.

For example, a power brick may say it’s capable of outputting 100W, but this could be a combined wattage of one USB-C port that outputs 80W and one USB-A port that outputs 20W. Wattage: While you’ll need to make sure the wattage supported by the power brick is powerful enough for your specific MacBook, you’ll also need to note how the power is distributed if there are multiple ports.

For example, the latest MacBook Pro needs a 100W charger to power it, whereas the latest MacBook Air only needs a 30W charger.

Mac Model: Be sure to check which model your MacBook is before choosing a charger to ensure it’ll have enough power.
