MagSafe was one of my favorite things about Apple laptops. I'm sorry to see that go.

Here's an alternative... surprised Apple didn't introduce something similar today https://griffintechnology.com/us/breaksafe-magnetic-usb-c-po...

Has anybody used these?

It's a solution nobody asked for.

Thanks, that looks nice.

Yeah. This is a MAJOR regression in quality.

What in particular? Reviews on Amazon are mixed. 3.3/5 stars with 88 reviews. Looks like complaints are a mix of:

- weak magnets

- cosmetic (black, thicker, stiffer cable, bulky connector)

Does this square with your experience?

I was referring to the MagSafe feature being removed. Seems small but it actually prevents accidents. As my colleague said today: "hope apple care includes drops"

Gotcha. I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying.
