Overview
- Macworld measured a 30% gain in 30 minutes using a 96W charger versus 15% with the Neo’s included 20W adapter, starting from 20% battery.
- Readings via the Battery Health 2 app and further trials, including a 250W brick on The Full Nerd podcast, indicate a practical charging ceiling near 24 watts.
- Apple did not advertise fast charging for the Neo and its support documentation omits the model from fast‑charge lists, consistent with the test results.
- 9to5Mac corroborates that any adapter rated above roughly 24W delivers similar speeds, making very high‑wattage bricks unnecessary for this laptop.
- The Neo is bundled with a 20W USB‑C power adapter, with reports noting European units are not supplied with a charger in the box.
