Please bring back the MagSafe magnetic connector, so I can upgrade my MacBook
no way would i give up magsafe for usb-c
It is nice to have magsafe back. Without that I'd be paranoid that the USB sockets would wear out over time from constantly being used for charging.
MagSafe was a gimmick for me - disconnects far too easy, cables fray in like 9 months, only one side, proprietary and overpriced. Use longer cables and they will never be yanked again. MBP is heavy enough that even USB-C is getting pulled out on a good yank.
I need this Magnetic USB-C in my life. I hate that Apple removed magsafe!
Make sure they don't fry your power adapter - some USB-C magsafes like to do that upon disconnecting the cable from magsafe area.
Can't we have USB-C with magsafe?
Could someone make a MagSafe-to-USB-C adapter?
How did you manage before magsafe?
Special thanks to the new MagSafe - this is no longer possible (short term anyway).
