Apple’s Macintosh 128K from 1984 is a hugely iconic computer, and it seems that it has inspired a company with a brand-new 67W Mac-themed power adapter.
It’s no secret that Apple attracts legions of adoring fans, many of whom have a penchant for Apple devices of yesteryear. That kind of inspiration might be what led gadget firm Shargeek to launch a new power adapter heavily inspired by the old-school Macintosh 128K from 1984.
Shargeek claims its charger is the first 67W adapter to include a built-in power display. This shows the power output of the charger in real time, allowing you to ensure your devices are getting as much power as they require to quickly charge up. A retro-styled curiosity On the back are three USB-C ports, each of which can provide 67W of power individually. When two ports are in use, you’ll either get 15W of power or 20W and 45W to those ports, depending on which ones are used. However, it’s not clear if that 15W goes to each occupied port or is shared between two ports. When all three ports are occupied, the top two provide 15W , with the bottom port outputting 45W of power.
We have to admit, it feels strangely fitting to juice up your modern devices with a charger shaped like an old-school classic. Yet while the Macintosh 128K is clearly an inspiration, the Retro 67 also confusingly draws on The Matrix, a film released 15 years after Apple’s first Mac made its initial impact. That’s seen in the neon green falling numbers that rain down on the Retro 67’s display.
