MagSafe was flawed - I’m glad it’s gone. It had massive reliability issues due to dust getting in between the connectors - which ending up causing charging problems, excessive heat at the charging port and countless charging adapter replacements.
- xhruso00 6y agoOn MBP2015 and i love magsafe.
- whywhywhywhy 6y agoMostly because they insist on using supposedly eco-friendly rubber that frays dangerously. Ignoring that me buying 5 chargers across the life of a device is far worse for the environment than just 1. My Titanium Powerbook charger still remains un-frayed and I used that laptop everyday for 9 years.
- bigwheeler 6y agoI’m on a 2012 MBP and MagSafe has worked flawlessly for 8 years for me. I think I might hold on to my MBP until it doesn’t boot up anymore, there’s no upside to “upgrading” right now, besides being able to double the ram. MagSafe, 2012 keyboard destroys 2020’s, no Touch Bar, and most importantly- it’s rock-solid reliable.
- jes5199 6y agoI had the very last edition magsafe connector on my 2015ish macbook. And _that_ one had the infuriating problem that the charge port got so hot that it would melt the insulation right off of the wire! I replaced the charger every few months, and it just kept happening. I upgraded to a thinkpad.
- fluffything 6y agoOn a 2013 Macbook air, MagSafe has worked perfectly for me for the last 7 years. Saved my laptop a couple of times too. Way more worth it than AppleCare.
