MagSafe was one of Apple's best hardware ideas, and I'm really surprised they dropped it for a few generations. I'm glad they realized their mistake and brought it back, though.
- diffeomorphism 4y agoAny advantage of this over just a magnetic usb c connector (like $20-30, works with anything)?
- yourapostasy 4y agoThe Apple-supplied MagSafe port sits flush to the laptop case. The magnetic USB-C PD connectors are quite low-profile, but I'm still paranoid about it catching and shredding the port (that's a mainboard swap at Apple unless you know about sending it to Louis' shop). Now if I can find a design that is breakaway when it catches to sacrifice itself when put under undue strain, comes with plastic tweezers, and I can buy cheap replacements, I'd be all over them.
