Are there other USB-C power adapters I can use to plug in my MBA? It's tough moving my cables in my home-office setup, but occasionally need to power up in another room. I hate spending another $60 for a minor convenience, but don't seem to see others with compatability. And of course I want something safe and reputable for my precious new MBA.

Thanks. It’s confusing: they list phones and tablets and other devices as compatibilities, but not laptops.

Got one of these at work: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Charger-PowerPort-MacBook-Laptops/dp/B089XZ5DZZ?ref_=ast_sto_dp

and one of these at home: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B072K5SFHG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Had them both since a day after my M1 MBA arrived in November. Overall, prefer the one I have at home as I still predominantly use USB Type A for other chargers, but I can charge my iPhone, Watch and MBA all simultaneously with either. Saves having 3 sockets occupied.

Shouldn't be anything special about MBA USB-C charging. This is the power adaptor I use:


The Apple original hasn't come out of the box.
