Not much to say other than that it works. The Klein reports it supplying 19.92V at 1.40A (27.9W); coconutBattery reports the laptop charging with 8–15W (or more) while tapping this (Bluetooth keyboard) and streaming a high definition YouTube video over WiFi. It’s about 1/3 the size of the charger Apple bundles with the laptop, and makes a cost-effective option to keep a charger in another location. Dig it.
