Why is it that the battery wattage is higher than that of the charger for some MacBook models.
1) Would the computer charge faster if you were to use a higher wattage charger?
2) Would the charger not overheat, since its not constantly working at full load?
Note: In terms of physical dimension Smallest<45W<60W<85W<Biggest. The 45W may be supplied with the MacBook Air simply due to the fact that its more portable.
