Contrary to my MacBook, I don’t tend to leave my monitor laying around the house with the charger plugged in. I’m clumsy, I tend to accidentally stumble of cables that are plugged in. (It doesn’t happen that often, of course, but once every few months is sufficient to kill my laptop.) MagSafe is wonderful. The fact that it’s a proprietary connector is far less important than the fact that it protects me from my clumsiness. I blame the designers of USB-C for not coming up with something that can offer the benefits of MagSafe. (Of course, the battery life of the new laptops makes it less necessary to plug in while you’re sitting on the sofa…)
