Hi All

I've got a macbook pro 2016 model and find the USBC charger (80W) very bulky, particularly the plug, does anyone have any recommendations for alternative chargers that are more slimline?

love the design of the laptop but design seems to be lacking on the charger side ?

thanks

Si

You find the plug bulky? It should be the standard UK plug which should be the same size as every other plug you've encountered in the UK. If you do find a 'slim' version of that it'll be an unsafe fake, they're that size and shape for a reason.

As to the charger, it's pretty small for an 87W jobby. As it's USB-C though you can use any other USB-C charger as long as it provides equivalent power, but you'll be hard pressed to find something smaller of equal quality. Check Amazon for 87W chargers and you'll find plenty.
