I agree 100% with magsafe. I am hoping a 3rd party (like the breaksafe but recommended by apple) comes up and fills the void. If not, I am not entire sure what my next upgrade will be. I may wait another 5 years!
Magsafe has saved me a whole bunch of times, which I have seen echoed in many other comments across the other threads over the past few days. I know some peoples comments were that the threads frayed. But surely they could have come up with Magsafe 3 with better cable shielding?
I just picture you back when the iMac was first released without, god forbid, a floppy disk drive or ADB ports.
The fact is that just like before in a year from now when all peripherals support USB-C we will herald Apple as a visionary once again.
I detect a whiff of hyperbole in everyone postings on the subject. The sky is not falling. That said, I am annoyed at the net loss of two ports - just one USB A port would have been helpful.
