I noticed that a new MacBook Air has a 30W power adapter, but the MacBook Pro 13" has 61W. I found it interesting because both computers are very similar in many ways.
What does it mean? Does it mean the MacBook Pro can recharge faster (like an iPhone recharges faster with 12W or 18W instead of 5W)? Does it mean the MacBook Pro consumes more power when being used when connected to the charger? So would having MacBook Air instead of a MacBook Pro gives you a (very slightly) cheaper electricity bill?
Or in a more general way: why don't the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro 13" come with the same power adapter?
I don't know much about the technical side, so I would be interested to know what more knowledgeable people have to say about this!
