Mascom International stocks the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor at KSh 2,800, a brand new and sealed replacement adaptor for Apple laptops that delivers 16.5V at 3.65A through an L-shaped MagSafe 1 connector. Some sellers label this unit 65W, but its output works out to 60 watts, the figure Apple specified for its 13-inch MagSafe 1 notebooks. The Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor suits the 13-inch MacBook Pro and white MacBook models from before the 2012 Retina switch. Pick one up from our shop at the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for accountants, lawyers, NGO field staff and Strathmore and JKUAT students who keep a 13-inch MacBook Pro going long after its first charger gave up, the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor fills a real gap. Cheap unbranded chargers often run hot, carry no stated output and fail within weeks. A charger that cannot hold steady power also leaves your battery stuck at a low percentage in the middle of a deadline. The Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor gives the full 16.5V and 3.65A the machine expects, and its L-shaped plug tucks the cable along the laptop's side, away from elbows and coffee cups.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that hand over a charger and hope it fits, Mascom International checks your laptop model before you pay for the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor. Buyers throughout Kenya report that an older 13-inch MacBook Pro with a fresh charger still runs office work, spreadsheets and video calls without fuss. Message us your model or the label on your old brick and we will confirm the match. Visit the store to test it in person, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery and settle the bill with M-Pesa when the parcel reaches you.
Common Questions About the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor
How much is the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor in Kenya?
The Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor sells for KSh 2,800 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new. The price includes the adaptor with its attached MagSafe 1 cable, a 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties. It costs KSh 200 less than the T-shaped 60W version and KSh 200 less than the Apple 85W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor. For a 13-inch MagSafe 1 machine, you get the correct output without paying for wattage you will not use.
Is the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor a 60W or a 65W charger?
The Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor is a 60W charger, because 16.5 volts multiplied by 3.65 amps gives about 60 watts. Some suppliers list the same unit as 65W, which is a selling label rather than a different product. What matters for your laptop is the voltage, current and connector, and those match what the 13-inch MagSafe 1 notebooks from Apple expect. If your old brick reads 16.5V and 3.65A with an L-shaped plug, this is the replacement you need.
How does the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor compare with the 85W L-Tip?
The Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor gives 16.5V at 3.65A for KSh 2,800, while the 85W L-Tip gives 18.5V at 4.6A for KSh 3,000. Both use the same L-shaped MagSafe 1 plug, so either seats in the same port. The 60W unit is the right match for 13-inch machines. The 85W unit is built for 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models and can also power a 13-inch one. Choose the 85W only if one charger must serve a larger MacBook Pro too.
Does the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor fit a MacBook that came with a T-shaped plug?
Yes, the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor seats in any MagSafe 1 port, including machines that shipped with the T-shaped plug. The two shapes carry the same contacts and the same 60W output; only the direction of the cable changes. With the L-Tip, the cable runs back along the laptop's side instead of sticking straight out, which many owners prefer on a crowded desk. If you would rather match your old charger exactly, the T-Tip version costs KSh 3,000 at Mascom International.
Can I leave the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor plugged in all day in a hot, dusty Kenyan office?
You can keep the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor plugged in through a full working day, as long as the brick has air around it. Chargers warm up in use, so never bury it under papers or a cushion, especially in a stuffy Industrial Area workshop. Dust settles on the magnetic tip, so wipe it weekly. On the coast, Mombasa's humidity can corrode contacts left damp, so store it dry. A surge protector guards it against KPLC voltage swings.
Who should buy the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor, and who should skip it?
The Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor is right for anyone with a 13-inch MacBook Pro or MacBook that has a MagSafe 1 port and needs a dependable replacement at a fair price. Skip it if your laptop is a 15-inch or 17-inch MacBook Pro; the 85W L-Tip at KSh 3,000 is the correct match. Skip it too for a Retina MacBook Pro or MacBook Air from 2012 onward, since those use MagSafe 2, a different connector served by our Apple 85W MagSafe 2 Laptop Adaptor.
Why does my MacBook Pro say Not Charging with the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor plugged in?
A Not Charging message with the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor connected usually has one of three causes. First, check that the connector light is on and the magnetic tip sits flat, with no grit on the pins. Second, confirm your machine is a 13-inch model, because a 15-inch MacBook Pro can draw more than 60W under load. Third, an old battery may need service. Bring the laptop to Mascom International and we will test it with the adaptor in front of you.
Is the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor worth buying for an ageing MacBook Pro?
At KSh 2,800, the Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor is a small spend that keeps a working laptop useful. A 13-inch MacBook Pro of the MagSafe 1 era still handles documents, email, browsing and online classes, and a replacement laptop costs many times more. The adaptor also makes a sensible spare: keep one at the office and one at home so you stop carrying a charger every day. Even with a tired battery, the laptop keeps working at your desk while plugged in.
Technical Specifications
Power Delivery and Core Function
- 16.5V at 3.65A output — roughly 60 watts, matching what 13-inch MagSafe 1 notebooks draw while charging and working together.
- Steady output under load means the battery percentage keeps rising even with a browser, email and a video call open.
- Sometimes sold elsewhere as 65W; the voltage and current printed here are what count, and they match the 60W specification.
- Powers the laptop and refills the battery at once, so video calls and spreadsheets carry on while the charge climbs.
- Magnetic coupling holds the plug in place without force, then releases cleanly if the cable gets yanked or snagged by a passer-by.
- Connector light glows to confirm power is reaching the laptop, a quick check when you suspect a faulty socket or extension.
- Works from Kenya's 240V supply through a fold-out wall plug head, and we confirm the plug type on WhatsApp before dispatch.
Compatibility With 13-inch MagSafe 1 Machines
- Fits every MagSafe 1 port, the wide magnetic socket on Apple notebooks sold before the Retina models of 2012 arrived.
- Matches 13-inch MacBook Pro models of the MagSafe 1 era, which came with an L-shaped 60W plug in later production years.
- Also seats in 13-inch MacBook models that shipped with a T-shaped plug, since the contacts and output are identical.
- Too little power for 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models, which need the 85W L-Tip at KSh 3,000 instead.
- Will not fit MagSafe 2 machines, the thinner connector found on Retina MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models from 2012 onward.
- Not for USB-C MacBooks or MagSafe 3 models, whose ports and charging methods are completely different from MagSafe 1.
- Send your laptop model or a photo of the old adaptor label on WhatsApp and we confirm the match before you pay.
Build and Cable Routing
- L-shaped connector — the cable turns at a right angle at the plug and runs flat along the laptop's side.
- Low-profile routing keeps the cable clear of your elbow, a neighbour's chair or a bag set down beside the desk.
- Cable attached permanently to the brick, so there is no detachable joint to loosen, wobble or go missing.
- Rectangular brick fits a laptop sleeve, handbag or backpack side pocket without adding noticeable bulk to your load.
- White finish in the classic MagSafe style, sitting naturally beside an aluminium 13-inch MacBook Pro on any desk.
- The cable ends are the parts to protect, so loose coils and gentle bends add months to its working life.
Inclusions and Buyer Support
- Adaptor brick with the MagSafe 1 L-Tip cable attached, ready to charge straight from the package with no setup.
- Fold-out wall plug head, with the plug type for Kenya's 3-pin UK-style sockets confirmed on WhatsApp before we dispatch.
- Brand new unit with an unused connector and fresh cable, never a pulled or reconditioned charger from an old machine.
- 6-month warranty from Mascom International covering manufacturing defects, claimed at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Free fit check at the counter: bring your MacBook Pro and watch it charge before you hand over payment.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide, so you hold and inspect the adaptor before any money changes hands.
Package Contents
Your Apple 60W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor comes as a single, ready-to-use unit. The package holds the adaptor brick with the L-shaped MagSafe 1 cable fixed to it and a fold-out wall plug head.

Surge-protected extensions are available separately at Mascom International for buyers who want extra protection.
