You didn't mention your usage pattern. Unless you max out the CPU/GPU often and for long periods of time, the MBP doesn't consume 140W.

Well you’ve yourself written how you’ve invested so much, why skimp on the power supply?

My current machine is a 16” M2 Max that came with the 140 W charger. I’m curious when they actually stopped supplying one?

You can charge it with a 30 Watt charger if you want. Thats what I travel with, because it’s lightweight. I use the Mac all day and charge it in my hotel overnight.

If you’re running highly compute intensive software continually, you might want a higher powered charger. But if you’re mostly email and browsing while traveling, you will get ten hours of battery life on a charge.

One other thing — I know you can use the Mac in clamshell mode, but I prefer to keep the lid open so that air can ventilate through the keyboard. Maybe someone here knows for sure if open lid ventilates better, cause I’m not certain one way or the other.
