* * This note applies to MBP and adapters below 70w.
The MacBook Pro Apple adapter (85w) actually puts out 16.5v just like the macbook adapter (60w) for normal usage. But if you are a heavy graphics user, it'll automatically up the voltage to 18.5 volts (85w).
During our tests, we've found that not a whole lot of people tax their MacBook Pro to the max, so the 70w is actually enough for a lot of people. If you are within the 3%, your laptop will simply slow down or stop charging your battery. It will resume charging when you reduce CPU tasks.
^ If you are a MBP user and your adapter is above 70w, please contact us if you are within the 3% who max out their CPU.
