Having been a long time laptop user, I've had several incidents where one of my large dogs get wrapped up in a cord and runs off with either my computer crashing to the floor or me hanging onto it while the charging pin breaks or bends. It is a big annoyance when that happens with magsafe still, I'll have to get up and fetch the cord again.. but i'd trade that annoyance with the alternative any day.
This new MacBook has nice battery life and if I had one I can see using it without needing to plug it in while i'm on the couch or something.
What worries me though is a precedent being set. I am not in the market for a MacBook or MacBook Air, however I do buy MacBook Pros. I do everything on them from software dev, video editing, playing games. Much of that use is not battery friendly so I will _need_ to plug those in while i'm on the couch or in a high traffic area. I love the idea of USB-C I just hope Apple keeps MagSafe around for form factors they are not trying to reduce to sheets of paper thickness.
