Mascom International stocks the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter at KSh 11,500, brand new and sealed, with a single USB-C port and the UK type G three-pin plug used on Kenyan sockets. Apple recommends it for the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air with M2 chip, the 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2016 onward and the 14-inch MacBook Pro. With an M2 MacBook Air, Apple quotes about 30 minutes from empty to 50 percent. Collect the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter from our shop on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered.
Designed for people who work from a MacBook all day, the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter answers a common complaint: a laptop that drains faster than a small phone charger can refill it. Accountants closing month-end books in Upper Hill, lawyers drafting in Kilimani chambers and developers on long builds feel this most. A lost or frayed original charger is the other usual story, and a genuine Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter is the clean fix. It also gives JKUAT and USIU students a spare to keep in the library bag, so the main charger can stay at home.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that mix grey-market copies into their Apple shelves, Mascom International sells the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter only in Apple's sealed packaging. At Mascom International, we're seeing more MacBook Air owners ask for this exact wattage once they learn it unlocks fast charging on M2 models. Because it uses plain USB-C, the same Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter will top up an iPhone or iPad in the evening. Come test it with your own Mac at the counter, or order on WhatsApp and pay when it reaches you.
Common Questions About the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter
What is the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter price in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter for KSh 11,500, brand new and sealed, at our Nairobi CBD store. The price includes a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. Apple ships it without a cable, so you add a USB-C or USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable from our shelf if needed. Against its neighbours, it costs KSh 4,200 more than the 40W Dynamic adapter and KSh 2,000 less than the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter.
Which MacBook models does the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter suit best?
Apple pairs the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter with the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air with M2 chip, the 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2016 or later, and the 14-inch MacBook Pro. Other USB-C Macs charge from it too. A 16-inch MacBook Pro will accept it, but it refills slower than on a larger adapter and may barely gain charge under heavy load. If your Mac shipped with a 30W or 35W brick, this one gives it more headroom.
How quickly does the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter fast charge a MacBook Air?
Apple says the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter takes a drained MacBook Air with M2 chip to about 50 percent in around 30 minutes. Apple measured this on a 15-inch model using the USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable. Times vary with screen brightness, room heat and what is running. For a field engineer back from a site visit in Industrial Area, half an hour plugged in is enough to finish reports before the evening drive home.
Should I choose the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter or the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter?
Choose the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter for any MacBook Air or a 13-inch or 14-inch MacBook Pro, and save KSh 2,000. Move up to the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter at KSh 13,500 if you own a 16-inch MacBook Pro, whose larger battery and processors draw more power. Both have a single USB-C port and need a separate cable. A 70W brick on a big MacBook Pro still works, just slowly, so match the adapter to the laptop you actually carry.
Is the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter safe to use on Kenyan mains and backup power?
Yes, the UK version we stock carries a type G three-pin plug that fits Kenyan sockets directly, with no adapter plug needed. It runs well on KPLC mains and on a good inverter or UPS during outages. Cheap generators with unstable output can stress any charger, so plug it into a surge-protected board when power is shaky. Offices in Westlands and Upper Hill that switch to backup several times a week should run laptops through a UPS for the same reason.
Can one Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter replace my phone charger as well?
Yes, the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter talks to devices over USB Power Delivery, so a phone takes only the power it can use. An iPhone with USB-C connects through a USB-C to USB-C cable; older iPhones need a USB-C to Lightning cable. Samsung and other Android phones with USB-C charge from it too. One brick in your bag means one cable and one socket at a Nairobi café, and a lighter load on your matatu or boda boda ride.
Will the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter charge my Windows laptop or a Dell or HP notebook?
Often yes, when the Windows laptop charges over USB-C with Power Delivery, which many recent EliteBook, Latitude and ThinkPad models support. The Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter then supplies power within its rating. Laptops that expect more than 70 watts may charge slowly or warn about a low-power charger. Machines with a barrel-pin socket will not work at all. Send your laptop model to Mascom International on WhatsApp and we will confirm before you buy.
Who should buy the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter, and who should not?
Buy the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter if you use a MacBook Air or a 13-inch or 14-inch MacBook Pro and want faster, genuine Apple charging. Pass on it if your laptop is a 16-inch MacBook Pro: the Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter or the Apple 140W USB-C Power Adapter at KSh 15,500 fits better. Phone-only users are overspending here and should look at the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter instead.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Output
- 70 watts of output through one USB-C port — enough to keep a MacBook Air charging while you work.
- Fast charging for MacBook Air with M2 chip — Apple quotes about 50 percent in around 30 minutes.
- USB Power Delivery — negotiates power with each device, so laptops, tablets and phones draw only what they need.
- Charges while the laptop is in use — a light workload still lets the battery climb during a long office day.
- Single fixed rating — no dynamic boost mode, just a steady 70 watts ceiling for consistent laptop charging.
- Automatic power step-down as the battery fills — the laptop slows its intake near full, which is gentler on battery health over the years.
Mac and Device Compatibility
- MacBook Air 13-inch and 15-inch with M2 chip — Apple's recommended match, including the fast-charge feature.
- MacBook Pro 13-inch from 2016 onward — charges normally through a USB-C to USB-C cable.
- MacBook Pro 14-inch — charges through USB-C or a USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable, which snaps off if tugged.
- iPad and iPhone with USB-C — safe to share, since each device limits the power it accepts.
- USB-C Windows laptops with Power Delivery — usually compatible; confirm your model with us on WhatsApp first.
- MacBook Pro 16-inch — accepts the adapter, but charges slowly and may only hold its level during heavy video or coding work.
Build and Plug
- UK version with type G three-pin plug — fits the standard wall sockets in Kenyan homes and offices.
- Single USB-C port — any USB-C cable or MagSafe 3 cable plugs straight in.
- White Apple housing — the same look as the charger that originally came with many MacBook models.
- Compact block that fits in a laptop sleeve pocket — practical for hot desking or travel between Nairobi and Mombasa.
- Part number MXN53B/A on the current UK box — useful for checking the exact version at the counter.
- No cooling fan or moving parts — it runs silently, and the casing feels warm during heavy charging, which is normal.
Inclusions and Cables
- One Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter in sealed Apple packaging.
- Cable not included — a USB-C cable is sold separately at Mascom International.
- USB-C to MagSafe 3 cables available on request — needed for MagSafe charging on MacBook Air M2 and newer MacBook Pro.
- Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable at KSh 5,000 — handles the full 70 watts with room to spare.
- USB-C to Lightning cables in stock — for using the adapter with older iPhones at home.
Package Contents
Inside the sealed Apple box you get the Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter alone. Apple no longer packs a cable with it, so a USB-C cable is sold separately at Mascom International, as are USB-C to MagSafe 3 cables for MacBook owners who prefer the magnetic connector. If your old cable still works, the adapter pairs with it directly. Each unit stays factory sealed until you open it.
Warranty
The Apple 70W USB-C Power Adapter carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Should it fail to charge or develop a fault within six months, return it with proof of purchase to our service desk in Nairobi CBD, where our team assesses and handles the claim.
