Using Apple USB-C power adapters with a Neo laptop

Hello, just purchased a Neo laptop and looking for an appropriate power adapter - wall plug-in. I have Apple 20W and Apple 30W USB-C power adapters. If need be I will purchase other. Appreciate your help. Thanks!

Either adapter should be appropriate. Apple mentions the 20W adapter by name, but the 30W one should work, too.


The Mac and the power supply will negotiate the charging voltage to use, and the charging circuits in the Mac will regulate the amount of current that the Mac draws. So if the Mac willing to accept 30W of power, it might charge faster with the 30W adapter. But if it's not, it would just draw what it wanted (e.g. 20W of the 30W capacity).
