The Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 13,500, brand new and sealed in Apple's retail box. It delivers 96 watts through one USB-C port and carries the UK type G three-pin plug that Kenyan wall sockets take. Apple recommends it for the 16-inch MacBook Pro, and it also charges USB-C MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models from 2016 onward. Buy the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it to your door.
Built for professionals who push a large MacBook Pro hard, the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter solves the slow-charge problem that smaller bricks create. Content creators exporting 4K video, architects rendering drawings and developers compiling code in Westlands offices draw heavy power for hours. On an undersized charger, the battery can keep falling even while plugged in. This adapter holds the charge up during demanding work and refills the battery between jobs. Doctors and consultants who move between Upper Hill clinics and Kisumu or Eldoret branches can also keep a second Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter in a travel bag.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops cannot say whether a charger is original, Mascom International sells the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter only as sealed Apple stock you open yourself. Buyers throughout Kenya report that fake high-wattage bricks run hot and fail within weeks, which is a real risk to an expensive laptop. Because it follows the USB-C standard, the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter also charges an iPhone or iPad safely.

Common Questions About the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter
How much does the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter cost in Kenya?
The Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter sells for KSh 13,500 brand new and sealed at Mascom International, Nairobi CBD. That figure covers a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to every county. Apple sells the brick without a cable, so a USB-C cable is sold separately at Mascom International. It is KSh 2,000 above the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter and KSh 2,000 below the Apple 140W USB-C Power Adapter, which sit beside it on our shelf.
Is the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter the right charger for a 16-inch MacBook Pro?
Yes, Apple names the 16-inch MacBook Pro as the recommended match for the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter, and it shipped in the box with Intel-based 16-inch models. It powers the laptop under heavy load and recharges the battery at a healthy pace. Newer 16-inch MacBook Pro models with Apple silicon accept it too, though Apple's 140W adapter is needed for their fastest charging. For daily office and editing work, the 96W brick handles the job well.
Should I pick the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter or the Apple 140W USB-C Power Adapter?
Pick the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter if you own an Intel 16-inch MacBook Pro, a 15-inch MacBook Pro from 2016 to 2019, or any smaller USB-C Mac, and save KSh 2,000. Choose the Apple 140W USB-C Power Adapter at KSh 15,500 if you own a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M-series chip and want Apple's fast-charge mode on it. Both have one USB-C port and no cable in the box. Your laptop model, not the price gap, should decide.
Can the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter run a MacBook Pro through Nairobi's power interruptions?
Yes, plug the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter into a UPS or inverter and your MacBook Pro keeps charging through short KPLC outages. Its type G three-pin plug fits Kenyan sockets and UPS outlets without any converter. Large laptops draw the most power when exporting video, so a power cut mid-render is a real risk on battery alone. Editors in Kilimani and Industrial Area studios often pair the adapter with a surge protector to guard against spikes when mains returns.
What happens if I use the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter on a small MacBook Air?
Nothing harmful happens: the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter supplies only the power a MacBook Air asks for, because USB-C Power Delivery limits output to each device's needs. Your MacBook Air charges at its normal rate. The same is true for an iPad or a USB-C iPhone. Higher wattage on the brick does not push extra power into a smaller device. One adapter can therefore serve every Apple product on a shared office desk in Upper Hill.
Does the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter work with HP, Dell and Lenovo USB-C laptops?
In most cases yes, provided the Windows laptop charges through USB-C with Power Delivery, as many EliteBook, Latitude and ThinkPad models do. The Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter then charges within its rating. Gaming laptops that need more than 96 watts, and any model with a round barrel socket, will not run properly from it. Send your exact laptop model to Mascom International on WhatsApp before buying and we will confirm compatibility.
Is a third-party 100W charger better value than the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter?
A quality third-party 100W charger from a known brand can cost less, and some offer several ports. The Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter wins on fit and finish with Mac hardware, Apple's testing on its own laptops, and an easy warranty claim at a walk-in store. In Kenya, the larger risk is counterfeit chargers sold as genuine through online marketplaces and street stalls. If your MacBook Pro cost a few hundred thousand shillings, a sealed original protects that investment.
Who should buy the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter, and who can skip it?
Buy the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter if you own a 15-inch or 16-inch Intel MacBook Pro, or a large Mac that drains fast under creative or coding workloads. Skip it if you carry a MacBook Air: the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter at KSh 11,500 covers that laptop. Owners of an M-series 16-inch MacBook Pro who want fast charging should take the Apple 140W USB-C Power Adapter. Phone-only buyers can save with the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Power Delivery
- 96 watts of output from one USB-C port — enough to run a large MacBook Pro under load and still charge it.
- USB Power Delivery negotiation — the brick and laptop agree on power, so smaller devices never receive more than they request.
- Steady charging during video exports and code builds — the battery holds or rises instead of falling while plugged in.
- Suitable as a single charger for a mixed Apple desk — laptops, iPads and USB-C iPhones each draw what they need.
- Fixed 96-watt ceiling with no dynamic boost — consistent, predictable output across long working days.
Compatibility Across Mac Models
- MacBook Pro 16-inch — Apple's recommended pairing, and the charger supplied with Intel-based 16-inch models.
- MacBook Pro 13-inch and 15-inch from late 2016 onward — charges comfortably through a USB-C to USB-C cable.
- MacBook Air with Retina display and USB-C, from 2018 onward — charges at its normal rate without any risk.
- MacBook 12-inch from 2015 to 2017 — the older USB-C MacBook charges safely from this adapter too.
- USB-C Windows laptops with Power Delivery — usually compatible when they need 96 watts or less; confirm on WhatsApp.
Build and Plug
- UK version with type G three-pin plug — fits Kenyan wall sockets, extension boards and UPS outlets directly.
- Single USB-C port — accepts any USB-C cable, and a USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable for newer MacBook Pro models.
- White Apple casing — the same style as the charger that came with Intel 16-inch MacBook Pro units.
- Larger body than the 70W brick — sized to handle higher power while keeping heat under control on a busy desk.
- Part number MX0J2B/A on the UK box — lets you match the exact model before you break the seal.
Inclusions and Matching Cables
- One Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter in sealed Apple retail packaging.
- No cable in the box — a USB-C cable is sold separately at Mascom International.
- Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable at KSh 5,000 — rated well above 96 watts, so it carries this adapter's full output.
- USB-C to MagSafe 3 cables available on request — for 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with the magnetic port.
- Reuse your existing USB-C charge cable — if it carries laptop power, it pairs with this adapter immediately.
Package Contents
Apple's sealed box contains the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter and nothing else. No charge cable is packed, so a USB-C cable is sold separately at Mascom International, along with USB-C to MagSafe 3 cables for MacBook Pro models that use the magnetic connector. The seal stays intact until you open it in front of us or at delivery, so you know the brick has never been used.
