Mascom International stocks the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter at KSh 7,000, brand new and sealed in Apple packaging. It delivers 30 watts through one USB-C port and carries a UK type G three-pin plug, the socket standard used in Kenya. Apple recommends this adapter for MacBook Air, and it has shipped in the box with base 13-inch MacBook Air models for several generations. The Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter also fast-charges iPhone and iPad. You can buy it at our store in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery anywhere in the country.
Designed for MacBook Air owners, the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter handles the daily job of refilling a laptop between meetings and classes. Lawyers moving between chambers in Upper Hill, accountants in Westlands and university students at USIU or the University of Nairobi often lose the original charger, or need a second one for the office. A spare Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter means one stays at home and one lives in the bag. It also replaces a phone charger, so a single adapter covers your MacBook Air, iPhone and iPad.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International does not mix grey copies with real stock, and each sealed box comes with a receipt and a warranty. A counterfeit laptop charger can overheat on a hot afternoon or damage the charging port of a machine worth over a hundred thousand shillings. Buyers throughout Kenya report that they switch to us after a fake brick failed. The Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter is a small price against that risk. Test it with your own MacBook Air at our Kimathi Street counter, or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival.
Common Questions About the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter
What is the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter price in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter for KSh 7,000, brand new and sealed, in Nairobi CBD. The price includes the genuine adapter with a UK type G plug, a 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. No cable comes in the box; a USB-C cable is sold separately at Mascom International. The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter costs KSh 3,800, KSh 3,200 less, but it is meant for phones rather than laptops.
Can the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter charge my MacBook Air?
Yes. Apple recommends the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter for MacBook Air, and it is the adapter Apple has packed with base 13-inch models. It charges the laptop while you work on documents, email and browsing. During heavy tasks such as video exports, the battery may fill slowly or hold steady rather than climb. Use a USB-C to USB-C cable, or a USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable on recent MacBook Air models, for the fastest supported charging.
Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter or Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter: which suits me?
Pick the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter at KSh 7,000 if you charge one device at a time, mainly a MacBook Air. The Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter costs KSh 9,000 and has two ports, so a laptop and an iPhone can share one socket. When both ports are busy, the 35W model splits its power between them. If you rarely charge two things together, the 30W adapter saves you KSh 2,000.
Does the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter fit Kenyan sockets and work when travelling?
The Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter we sell has a UK type G three-pin plug, so it fits Kenyan wall sockets without a travel converter. Its input range of 100-240V means it also runs on foreign grids during trips, with only a plug adapter needed abroad. That suits consultants flying from JKIA to Kampala, Kigali or Dubai. On upcountry trips to Kisumu or Eldoret, the same adapter works in hotel rooms, offices and on a stable inverter or solar supply.
Will the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter charge an iPhone faster than a 20W adapter?
On recent iPhone models, the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter can deliver more power than a 20W unit, so top-ups can be quicker. Older iPhones such as iPhone 8 to iPhone 11 are limited by the phone itself and charge at about the same speed either way. Apple states that compatible iPhones reach about 50% in around 30 minutes on an adapter of 20W or more. The phone, not the adapter, decides how much power it draws, so it is safe.
Can the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter charge a Windows laptop or Android phone?
The Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter follows the USB Power Delivery standard, so many USB-C devices can use it. Android phones and tablets charge at standard Power Delivery speed. Light Windows ultrabooks that accept USB-C charging may charge slowly, mostly when switched off or asleep. Business laptops such as the HP EliteBook and Lenovo ThinkPad normally expect 45W to 65W, so they need their own chargers. Ask on WhatsApp before buying for a specific laptop model.
Is the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter good for an iPad Pro or iPad Air?
Yes, the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter suits iPad Pro and iPad Air, and retailers list fast charging for selected iPad Pro models. It gives a tablet more headroom than the 20W adapter Apple bundles with many iPads. For artists and doctors who use an iPad for hours of notes or drawing, a stronger charger shortens the time spent tethered to a socket. Use the USB-C to USB-C cable that came with your iPad, or buy one at Mascom International.
Who should buy the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter, and who should skip it?
Buy the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter if you own a 13-inch MacBook Air, or want one charger for laptop, phone and tablet. It also suits anyone replacing a lost original. Skip it if you use a 15-inch MacBook Air or a 14-inch MacBook Pro; the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter at KSh 11,500 matches those better. Skip it too if you only charge an iPhone, since the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter does that job for less.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Output
- 30 watts through a single USB-C port — the output Apple recommends for MacBook Air and its everyday workloads of email, documents and browsing.
- USB Power Delivery negotiation — the adapter and the connected device agree on voltage first, so a phone or tablet only draws what it can handle.
- Single-port design — the whole 30 watts goes to one device, with no power split between a laptop and a phone.
- Input rated 100-240V — runs on Kenya's 240V mains and on overseas grids, needing only a plug adapter when you travel.
- Fast charging for compatible iPhone models — Apple states about 50% in around 30 minutes with a 20W or higher adapter.
- Silent passive cooling — no fan or moving parts, so it sits quietly beside a bed or in a meeting room.
Compatibility
- MacBook Air — the model Apple recommends this adapter for, and the adapter packed with base 13-inch MacBook Air units.
- Recent MacBook Air with MagSafe 3 — charges through a USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable or through a USB-C port directly.
- iPhone 8 and later — fast-charges with a USB-C to Lightning cable, or a USB-C to USB-C cable on iPhone 15 and newer.
- iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad — more headroom than the 20W adapter Apple bundles with many tablets.
- AirPods and Apple Watch — safe to use, since each device only draws the small current it needs.
- Other USB-C devices — Android phones and light ultrabooks often charge, while 45W to 65W business laptops need their own adapters.
Build and Plug
- UK type G three-pin plug — fits standard Kenyan wall sockets and extension boards straight out of the box.
- White polycarbonate body in Apple's usual finish — compact enough to share a laptop sleeve with a mouse and cable.
- Printed regulatory and rating text on the casing — helps you compare a genuine unit against counterfeits sold in town.
- Built-in protection against over-current, overheating and short circuits — safeguards that cheap copies often leave out.
- One USB-C socket with a firm fit — the cable clicks in securely and does not wobble during use.
- Suits a hot office or classroom — keep it on a hard surface rather than under a cushion so heat can escape.
Inclusions
- One Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter with a UK type G three-pin plug, sealed in Apple retail packaging.

- Box checked and opened at the counter on request — you confirm the seal before you pay.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects, handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Receipt issued with every unit — useful for company expense claims and asset records.
