Quick Answer
For charging a MacBook Air or entry MacBook Pro in Pakistan, the practical genuine option currently available at AvaNext is the Apple 40W USB-C Dynamic Power Adapter (PKR 6,499–9,400), paired with a 240W-rated USB-C to USB-C cable. It isn't Apple's official full-speed MacBook charger spec (which uses 35W/70W/96W adapters), but it will charge your MacBook reliably, just not at maximum fast-charge speed under heavy load. Check current price and stock.
AI Summary
Apple ships different MacBook models with different official charger wattages — MacBook Air typically with 35W or 70W, and MacBook Pro with 67W to 140W depending on the model. AvaNext's current catalog carries the versatile 40W USB-C adapter, which charges any USB-C MacBook but won't match the fastest official charging speed on higher-wattage Pro models. This guide is honest about that trade-off so you can decide if it fits your use case.
Key Takeaways
- AvaNext's 40W USB-C charger (PKR 6,499–9,400) will charge any USB-C MacBook Air or Pro
- It is not the official full-speed charger for MacBook Pro models with higher power draw — expect slower charging under heavy use (video editing, gaming, external displays)
- You need a USB-C to USB-C cable rated for the wattage — our 240W-rated cable covers this
- If you need guaranteed full-speed official charging, look for Apple's specific 35W, 70W or 96W adapter matched to your MacBook model
- Nationwide COD, same-day delivery in Islamabad and Rawalpindi on what we stock
Why It Matters
MacBooks will accept charging power from any sufficiently-rated USB-C PD charger — but charging speed while the laptop is idle versus under heavy load can differ meaningfully depending on wattage. Buyers deserve to know this before purchasing, rather than assuming any USB-C charger performs identically.
Buying Guide
If your MacBook usage is mostly light (browsing, documents, email) and you charge overnight or during breaks, the 40W adapter will keep pace fine. If you regularly run your MacBook under heavy load while plugged in (video export, external monitors, gaming), a higher-wattage official Apple adapter matched to your exact model will charge more reliably without the battery slowly draining during intense use.
Features
- Apple Dynamic Power Adapter design — adjusts output up to 40W automatically
- USB-C output compatible with all current MacBook USB-C charging ports
- Compact, travel-friendly size compared to 96W/140W adapters
Technical Specifications
- Output: up to 40W (Dynamic Power Adapter)
- Connector: USB-C
- Cable needed: USB-C to USB-C, rated 60W or higher for reliable MacBook charging
Compatibility
Physically compatible with any MacBook using a USB-C charging port (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13/14/16-inch models). Charges the battery in all cases; may charge more slowly than the battery drains during sustained heavy workloads on higher-power MacBook Pro models, since 40W is below their peak draw.
Benefits
- One adapter that also charges your iPhone and iPad at full fast-charging speed
- More compact than dedicated 96W/140W MacBook adapters
- Genuine Apple safety and build quality
Pros
- Versatile across phone, tablet and laptop
- Smaller and lighter than official high-wattage MacBook chargers
- Reliable charging for typical, non-intensive MacBook use
Cons
- Not the official full-speed charger for MacBook Pro models with high power draw
- Under sustained heavy workloads, battery may charge slower than it discharges
- Serious MacBook Pro users may prefer sourcing the specific official-wattage Apple adapter for their model
Original vs Fake
Beware of unbranded "96W MacBook chargers" sold cheaply online — many don't sustain their advertised wattage and can undercharge or, in poorly made units, pose safety risks. See our guide to spotting fake Apple chargers.
Buying Advice
Be honest with yourself about your MacBook workload. Light users save money and space with the 40W adapter. Heavy users (creative work, external displays, gaming) should look specifically for their MacBook's official wattage rating before buying.
Who Should Buy
MacBook Air owners with light-to-moderate daily use; anyone wanting one adapter that also handles iPhone/iPad fast charging; users prioritizing portability over absolute charging speed.
Who Should Not Buy
MacBook Pro owners running sustained heavy workloads on battery who need guaranteed full-speed charging — seek out the model-specific official Apple wattage instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a 40W charger damage my MacBook?
No, MacBooks negotiate power delivery safely with any USB-C PD charger regardless of wattage — a lower wattage just means potentially slower charging, not damage.
What wattage charger does my MacBook officially ship with?
It varies by model and year — MacBook Air ships with 35W or 70W depending on configuration, while MacBook Pro models range from 67W to 140W. Check your original box or Apple's specifications for your exact model.
Can I charge my MacBook while using it for heavy tasks with the 40W adapter?
Yes, but under sustained heavy load the battery may discharge faster than it charges, since 40W is below some MacBooks' peak power draw.
Does AvaNext sell 96W or 140W chargers?
Not currently — our catalog's most relevant option today is the 40W USB-C Dynamic Power Adapter, which is versatile but not the top-tier MacBook Pro spec.
What cable do I need for MacBook charging?
A USB-C to USB-C cable rated 60W or higher — our 240W-rated cable covers this comfortably.
Is it safe to use a phone charger on a MacBook?
Yes, as long as it's a genuine USB-C Power Delivery charger — the MacBook will simply charge at whatever rate the adapter supports.
Does AvaNext offer Cash on Delivery?
Yes, nationwide COD with same-day delivery in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Is PKR 6,499 the current 40W charger price?
Prices can change over time — check the live product page before ordering.
Will the 40W charger fast-charge my iPhone too?
Yes, it's a versatile adapter that fast-charges iPhone and iPad as well as charging a MacBook.
Conclusion
For light-to-moderate MacBook use, AvaNext's Apple 40W USB-C charger is a genuine, versatile option that also covers iPhone and iPad fast charging. If you need guaranteed top-speed MacBook Pro charging under heavy workloads, look specifically for your model's official higher-wattage adapter.

Recommended Apple Cable & Charger Links
Buyer answer: For MacBook, iPad and newer USB-C iPhones, the Apple USB-C to USB-C 240W 2m cable is the main AvaNext buying page because it gives longer reach and high-power charging headroom.
