Plan to buy a Mac laptop. Not sure how it is recharged - would this work for charging a laptop computer?(not very experienced with these things)

Hello Jack!You can charge GearPower by laptop. However, you cannot load the laptop with GearPower-for this you would need USB connection on both sites-I do not know if this exist on the market.I hope that my answer was helpful for you.Robert Ekart

No it will not work. The MacBook Air charges with a MagSafe power adapter not with a USB connection. This device only charges USB devices.

It would work some of the time. I ended up buying a Apple charging cord. Hope this helps.

I would love to know as well because when I bought it it had the best reviews but I know for a fact the charge only lasts over an hr. As a matter of fact my MacBook is constantly plugged in.

No, I'm fairly certain that this is only for recharging mobile devices (cell phones and tablets). There are other options available for charging laptops.

I only used mine a few times. It would get so hot that I was afraid it would catch fire. I would stick with the chargers that are specifically made Apple/Mac products. They are too expensive of computers to risk.

The ad does not show it hooked up to a macbook air. It shows it hooked up to an iPhone and iPad. It will not charge a laptop. Amazon has plenty of options to purchase a battery charger for laptops. Just do a little shopping.

I've had mine since 6/16/14 and it is still working. It is used for an older mac puchased in 2009. It doesn't seem to charge my newer macbook pro purchased in 11/2012, but I needed a new charger for the older computer.

I plugged it into my 2011 Mac Mini and it charged my iPad, so I think there is a good chance it will charge yours. Remember the iPad should be charged off of 2amp, but I have plugged it into a 1amp charger and it has charged even while saying that it isn't charging.

The cord is black. I don't have a Mac, so I can't bear witness to any info regarding whether or not it would function with one. But, why wouldn't it? It is an electrical outlet.

Absolutely. We use it all the time when we travel to power/charge our MacBook Pro. Great little charger.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure. I think I just put mine in and it worked. My mac recognized it and it had a half charge already, so I let it discharge and then fully charged it. It also came with an info sheet that said contact them specifically for questions. Since it worked I threw out that piece of paper, but if you have it contact them. The very first battery I bought from another vendor would not be recognized by my computer and always had an x over the battery symbol, so I returned it. Good luck and sorry I'm not more helpful.

I charged my US MacBook with this in India. Worked great. MacBook power supply brick supports both 110/220V. Make sure your power supply can handle 220 or it will fry it.

The apple products themselves or the block on the macbook adapters convert the voltage internally. So you just need the plug adapter. This package is standalone for charging your Apple stuff abroad; when I was traveling I literally just used the plug adapter on my Macbook's power cord block. I hope that helps!

I used it to charge my iPhone 4 and my friends iphone 5 in Spain. I would assume it would charge your laptop also.

Yes, it will work, and you can slide the back brace into position for a nice fit. Remember, it will not synch unless directly plugged into your Mac. If you are using a USB hub, it will only charge.

Yes, it will for a limited time (battery). For a longer time you have to use USB charger (or a computer), micro USB in Macally, cord included.
