Higher wattage allows the processor to run its hidden cores. A dual-core processor suddenly becomes quad-core. It's great!grunt...grunt..More Power...grunt...

How would a 90w versus a 65w improve system performance? More power = more power??????
Edit: It works better because when you plugged it in it didn't instantly vaporize in an explosion?
My dads office used to use all Dell computers, primarily laptops. They ran into an issue where they couldn't send back the Dell OEM chargers because they would vaporize entirely and they'd have nothing to send back to Dell to replace. They got stuck having to buy new chargers, $60 each.
1. 65W vs 90W means more power output.
2. It worked better because unlike the OEM that smoked (and the 3rd partry one i got with the laptop) This one worked the second it was plugged in whereas the OEM had to have the end in the laptop wiggled to work.
19.5V @90W means more power than the battery 11.1V 1500Mah. My laptop sets prevormance mode when plugged in and low power mode on battery means the laptop drastically slows down the processor power to the point the system lags at mouse movement and 480p video
A 13" Macbook or Macbook Pro doesn't charge any faster or run any better(even in performance mode) with an 85W charger. A Titanium Powerbook or 12" iBook G3 doesn't work any better on a 60W charger. iPhones don't charge faster when plugged into an iPad charger(although I charge mine with one most of the time so I don't have to keep up with two chargers).
I try to not use lower rated PSUs than specified, but they will generally work at the cost of extended charging time. I've been known to plug a 15" MBP into a 65W charger, but try not to make a habit of it.
You can go lower wattage on the MacBooks and be fine. They advise against the opposite, at least, that's what the Genius Bar said to be. I use my MBA MagSafe2 on my 15inch sometimes, but never the 85W on the Air.
Yeah, I'm not sure. Just going by what the Genius told me.I've always thought it was the other way around.
After all, the TB display has an integrated 85W Magsafe 1 and was designed for use with everything from the 11" MBA up through the 17" MBP(RIP).
Yeah, I'm not sure. Just going by what the Genius told me.
The MBA charger basically trickle charges my 15inch Pro. Sort of like putting a battery tender on a car for storage?
