The Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor delivers 16.5V at 3.65A through the first-generation T-shaped MagSafe 1 connector, and it is available at Mascom International for KSh 3,000, brand new and sealed. This is a replacement adaptor for Apple laptops, made for the older 13-inch MacBook and the early 13-inch MacBook Pro that shipped with a T-shaped plug. The Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor comes with its MagSafe cable attached, so there is nothing to assemble. You can see and test it at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for university students, writers, journalists and small business owners across Kenya who still rely on an older MacBook, the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor solves a common problem. The first charger frays at the neck, the brick dies after a KPLC surge, or it simply goes missing on a matatu. Without power, a working laptop becomes a paperweight. The Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor restores the full 60 watts those 13-inch machines were designed for, so the battery charges while you keep typing. The magnetic tip also pulls free if someone trips over the cable, which keeps the laptop from crashing off the desk.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unlabelled chargers with no output stated, Mascom International lists the exact voltage, current and connector shape, so you buy the right Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor the first time. Customers across Nairobi tell us their older MacBooks still handle email, documents and browsing well, and a dependable charger keeps them useful for years. Send your laptop model or a photo of your old adaptor label on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fit before you pay. Walk in to test it on your own machine, or order with pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor
How much is the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor in Kenya?
The Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor costs KSh 3,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new. That price covers the adaptor with its attached MagSafe cable, a 6-month warranty, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. The L-shaped version of the same 60W adaptor sells for KSh 2,800, so the T-shaped plug costs KSh 200 more. Choose by connector shape and the machine you own rather than by price, since both deliver the same 16.5V 3.65A output.
Should I buy the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor or the L-Tip version?
Both deliver 16.5V at 3.65A and fit the same MagSafe 1 port, so the real difference is how the cable leaves the connector. On the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor, the cable sticks straight out from the laptop's side, matching early 13-inch MacBooks. The L-Tip, at KSh 2,800, turns the cable back along the edge. Pick the T-Tip to match your old charger or when your desk has room beside the laptop. Pick the L-Tip to save KSh 200 and keep the cable tidy.
Which laptops does the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor fit?
The Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor fits 13-inch MacBook and MacBook Pro models built with the first-generation MagSafe 1 port. That covers the white and black plastic MacBook, the aluminium unibody MacBook and early 13-inch MacBook Pro models. Retina MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models from 2012 onward use MagSafe 2, a thinner and different connector, so this plug will not fit them without a converter. Model years overlap, so send your laptop model or old adaptor label on WhatsApp and Mascom International will confirm.
Is the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor safe to use during KPLC power cuts and surges?
The Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor runs from Kenya's 240V mains, but like any charger it is safest behind a surge protector. KPLC outages often end with a voltage spike that can damage a brick plugged straight into the wall. A basic surge-protected extension absorbs most of that shock for little money. During a blackout, a charged MacBook keeps running on its battery and resumes charging when power returns. Unplug the adaptor during thunderstorms in the long rains for extra safety.
How do I know my MacBook needs the T-shaped connector?
If the cable on your old charger leaves the plug straight out, like the letter T, you need the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor. If the cable bends back along the laptop's side, your machine came with the L-shaped plug. Either shape seats in any MagSafe 1 port, so the choice is mostly about cable routing and matching what you had. Check the old brick's label too: it should read 16.5V and 3.65A, or 60W. Snap a photo and send it on WhatsApp.
Who should buy the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor, and who should skip it?
Buy the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor if you own an older 13-inch MacBook or MacBook Pro with a MagSafe 1 port and want the T-shaped plug it came with. Skip it if you have a 15-inch or 17-inch MacBook Pro, which needs 85W; our Apple 85W MagSafe L-Tip Laptop Adaptor at KSh 3,000 suits that machine. Skip it for Retina models from 2012 onward, which take a MagSafe 2 charger such as our Apple 85W MagSafe 2 Laptop Adaptor, and for USB-C MacBooks.
Can the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor charge a 15-inch MacBook Pro?
The Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor will physically connect to a 15-inch MagSafe 1 MacBook Pro, but it is the wrong charger for that machine. Those larger models were designed around 85W, so a 60W adaptor may charge them slowly, or not at all while heavy software runs. Apple's guidance works the other way round: a higher-wattage adaptor is fine on a smaller Mac. For a 15-inch or 17-inch model, choose the 85W L-Tip at KSh 3,000 from Mascom International instead.
Is the Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor good for carrying on a daily commute?
The Apple 60W MagSafe T-Tip Laptop Adaptor is compact enough to carry every day, and the attached cable means one less piece to lose. Most charger failures we see start where the cable bends sharply at the connector or the brick. Coil it loosely in wide loops, never wrapped tight around the body, before it goes into your bag for the matatu ride. Keep it away from keys and coins, and wipe the magnetic tip, since metal flakes can stop the contacts from seating.
Technical Specifications
Power Output and Core Function
- 16.5V output at 3.65A — about 60 watts, the power level Apple set for its 13-inch MagSafe 1 notebooks.
- Charges the battery and runs the laptop at the same time, so you keep working through long sessions while plugged in.
- Magnetic MagSafe tip snaps into place on contact — no thin pin pushed into a socket that wears loose with time.
- Breakaway design lets the plug pull free when someone trips on the cable, so the laptop stays safely on the desk.
- Small status light on the connector shows charging at a glance, so you can tell power is flowing without opening the lid.
- Runs from Kenya's 240V mains through a fold-out wall plug head, with the plug type confirmed before dispatch.
Compatibility With MagSafe 1 MacBook Models
- Fits the MagSafe 1 port, the wide first-generation magnetic socket Apple used on its notebooks before the 2012 Retina models.
- Matches older 13-inch MacBook models in white plastic, black plastic and aluminium unibody that shipped with a T-shaped plug.
- Suits early 13-inch MacBook Pro models of the MagSafe 1 era, which share the same 60W power requirement.
- Not for MagSafe 2 machines — Retina MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models from 2012 onward use a thinner, different connector.
- Not for USB-C MacBooks or newer MagSafe 3 models, which use entirely different ports and adaptors.
- Underpowered for 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models, which call for 85W, so choose the 85W L-Tip for those.
- Unsure about your model? Send it or your old adaptor label on WhatsApp and we confirm the fit before you pay.
Build and Connector Design
- T-shaped connector — the cable leaves straight out from the laptop's side, just like the plug on early MacBooks.
- Cable fixed permanently to the brick, so there is no loose joint to work free inside a backpack.
- Compact rectangular brick slips into a laptop sleeve or bag pocket without adding much weight to your load.
- Flush magnetic contacts attract metal dust, so a quick wipe with a dry cloth keeps the connection clean and steady.
- White finish in the familiar MagSafe style, so it looks at home beside an older white or aluminium MacBook.
- The cable neck is the main wear point, so avoiding sharp bends there adds months of service.
- Sealed brick with no user-serviceable parts inside, so a fault goes back to our service desk rather than to a roadside repairer.
Inclusions and Buyer Support
- Adaptor brick with attached MagSafe 1 T-Tip cable, ready to charge the moment it comes out of the box.
- Fold-out wall plug head, with the plug type for Kenya's 3-pin sockets confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.
- Brand new stock — no wear on the connector, no stretched cable and no previous owner's habits.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, so you can inspect the adaptor before handing over any money.
- In-store fit test at Kimathi Street — bring your MacBook and watch it charge before you pay a single shilling.
- WhatsApp pre-sale check — send a photo of your old brick's label and we match the voltage, current and plug shape.
