35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter
Apple has expanded its range of adapters with the introduction of the 35-watt Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter. It weighs 3.7 ounces (105 grams) less than the 30-watt USB-C power adapter and measures 1.9 by 1.9 by 1.1 inches (4.7 by 4.7 by 2.9 centimeters).

most devices," much like the 30-watt USB-C adapter, but Apple suggests using it with the MacBook Air. For people who have multiple devices that need to be charged and limited space, the 35-watt Dual USB-C Port Compact adapter is the perfect choice.
