I'm conflicted about the power adapter. I miss Magsafe. But I don't miss paying ~$80 when I (admittedly, stupidly) forget my charger on a trip. I can buy a $30 USB power brick, and then a USB C extension cable for a couple of dollars if I need a longer cable.
My dream is a Magsafe cable. USB C on both ends, magnetic connector in the middle (or near one end). Best of both worlds. But Apple wouldn't be able to charge $80 for that.

- evolutionxbox 7y agoI've got a similar product, but unless the company doesn't want USB-C certification the adapter is _really easy_ to pull out.
- appleiigs 7y agoApple could have kept magsafe and added USB C. Didn't have to get rid of magsafe.
- fastball 7y agoMy favorite MagSafe adapter ever has been a 3rd party one with a giant cable (that uses the '8' connector that is used by a lot of my TVs etc as well) which I bought on Amazon for $35 bucks. It also has 3, 2.1Amp USB-A ports for charging my phone / kindle / etc. It's really great and has lasted for 2 years so far with zero problems.
