Questions & Answers for Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adaptor (for 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro)

You can use the power supply in the US, all you need is the Apple World Travel Adapter part number MB974ZM from the apple store.

"The World Travel Adapter Kit includes a USB power adapter, a USB cable, and a set of six AC plugs with prongs that fit different electrical outlets around the world. For world travelers, this is the perfect kit to ensure power connectivity in most countries you may travel to.
The Kit is designed to work with iPod, iPhone, Apple MagSafe Power Adapters, Portable Power Adapters, and AirPort Express.
The AC plugs included in the World Travel Adapter Kit directly support outlets in North America, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong."

It also works in countries not listed as many countries use the same outlet as those listed. I've yet come across a country I cannot use this kit in.

yes. they werent available at the first few months after release, due to the slow shipping time. they must have sold out or not gotten the first shipment yet. i dont know why they couldnt give you an answer, but they have them at the apple store deer park illinois so they must have them at the apple stores in new york city near you.

Yes. I have same laptop as you, and I have a new one, the new charger, charges both.

The old charger, the one that died on you only charges the older laptop. You can find the old ones online but every add is sketchy, it's either not an original apple model and they trick you or sneak in the "compatible" word, or it's a refurbished and it's missing either the short plug, or the extender cord, you should get both otherwise it's not worth it.

This current model works, I've charged my old system with it many times, but I still have the old one working too.

Like many others mention the key is that you need 85W and both the old and this new one are 85W.

For a 13-inch Macbook I recommend a 60W Magsafe adaptor.

First answer not exactly correct. The 60 watt charger is the standard charger that comes with the 13 inch MacBook Pro, but the 85 watt charger will also work. Theoretically the 85 watt charger might last longer, definitely it is more flexible in that it works with more devices. Since they cost the same amount, the only drawback I could see to going with the 85 watt charger is that it takes up more space.

Electrically: Apple's MagSafe adapters are labelled for AC input of "100-240V 50/60 Hz". They should work worldwide. (Mine does).

Physically: Most of Italy uses European-style two-round-pin AC sockets. There are local variations - some sockets have earth/ground connectors also, though the Magsafe adapter does not need this. You can get many converters to convert from US flat-blade mains plugs to Euro-style sockets. Best is to use the correct Euro-plug to fit directly on the MagSafe in place of (say) the US flat-blade AC plug. Second-best is to use a lead from Magsafe's own Figure-8 AC connector to the wall socket. This prevents the weight of the Magsafe dragging itself out of the wall outlet.

Air Transport: You should carry your adapters with you so that you can power-up your laptop for security at any airport you pass through.
