Along with the 15-inch MacBook Air, the Apple also released a new GaN loaderGallium nitrideor gallium nitride.”>1 of 70W which can be chosen by the user in place of the traditional 35W dual charger, launched last year with the 13″ MacBook Air and which, this time, comes standard with the new Apple notebook.
Designed with MacBook Air owners who want to take advantage of their computer’s fast charging in mind, the accessory has already undergone a teardown promoted by the channel’s staff. ChargerLAB, on Youtube. It is worth remembering that they were also responsible for one of the first teardowns of the 35W model, which we commented here.
After conducting some preliminary tests, the ChargerLAB found which charger supports the protocols PD 3.0 e DCP. What’s more, it’s 65mm both wide and tall, as well as 28mm thick — making it slightly smaller than Apple’s 67W charger and slightly larger than the 30W model. The latest model weighs approximately 165g, worth noting.
Like the model with the dual USB-C ports, the new 70W charger is not easy to disassemble. Gaining access to the innards of the fixture required the use of a rotary saw, which basically eliminated any chance of the fixture being reassembled.
Inside, we have that famous “organized mess” of capacitors, fuses and transformers on the front of the logic board, while a GaN chip can be found on the back. As with other Apple products, most of the internal components are black, which gives the charger a very premium look.
Apple 70W USB-C Charger can be purchased separately from the App Store Online by R$560 (or R$503,10 with a 10% discount).
