We had company over Thanksgiving weekend that brought a new MAC laptop with him. 5 days old to him. He plugged in to an AFCI protected circuit. CH BR style combination type, about 5 years old. They have a magnetically held connection for charging. It tripped the AFCI twice. He is savvy enough to understand that the position he had the laptop resting during the charge caused the connection to be intermittent and he told me about it. It was his first experience with an AFCI. I do not know what the current draw of the power supply is but I would think less than the 6-8 amp level we hear is required for the AFCI to work.
We moved it to a proper position and another location that was not AFCI protected.
