You can buy the 67W charger for the same $59. The 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter is listed as "coming soon" in compact and regular sizes, and will sell for $59 in stand-alone form if you either buy the 8-core GPU Air or want to use the brick for powering other devices. This is the adapter that comes with the base 14-inch MacBook Pro, but the Air M2's lower power draw makes fast charging practical where it requires a 96W upgrade for the Pro. If you're not worried about connectivity, there's also an optional 67W adapter that can fast-charge the MacBook Air to 50 percent in 30 minutes.

Given that the portable only has two Thunderbolt/USB-C jacks, this could prove a life-saver if you use multiple peripherals. You won't have to give up one of your laptop's connections (or plug in a separate power brick) just to charge your iPhone at the same time.

As part of the announcement, Apple revealed that the 10-core GPU version of the new Air comes with a 35W adapter that includes two USB-C ports. One of the MacBook Air M2's most important upgrades might sit outside the computer.
