Choice of MBP regarding existing power supplies
Aug 8, 2009
Hello everyone hoping some advice will help my decision. Debating 14" or 16" MBP purchase. I would prefer the 16" but I do have many 96 watt OWC thunderbolt docks and chargers in my set up. The 16" requires 140watts, but can it be run off a lower 96w power supply without issues? Any users of 16"MBP with lower power supplies your thoughts would be appreciated.

I have been using my M1 Max with 18W, 65W and 140W USB PD power suppliers. No problems at all. My workloads are not that demanding.
So I think the answer would be yes, unless your computer's compute power is continuously being utilized to its maximum capacity.

Thanks for the feedback. It will be in clamshell most of the time at 96w.I have been using my M1 Max with 18W, 65W and 140W USB PD power suppliers. No problems at all. My workloads are not that demanding.
