Guide note · not an individual product specification
The useful distinction
Understand the requirement.
Separate a listed fast-charge arrangement from an assumed input requirement. [C168A]
The M1 Air specification lists an included 30 W adapter; that package statement does not establish the later Air fast-charge setup. [C168B]
Bounded facts, visible unknowns
Specifications and limits
A fast-charge setup is not a universal minimum facts and limitations
Scope
Public-reference investigation, not live hardware or independent approval. [C168A][C168B]
Verified device list
Not included. Check exact device and accessory documentation.
A boundary, not an omission to guess around.
The named adapter list supplies documentary examples. An unlisted charger is not automatically excluded, but its suitability is unknown here. Charge-time conditions are not an outcome prediction.

What to check

Distinguish recommendation, example and included supply from actual demand.
AI-assisted inspection is not independent engineering review. Source scope and access limitations are disclosed below. Procedural checklists are editorial requirements, not hardware measurements.
