MagSafe was nice, but I have a 20,000 mAh USB-C power bank in my bag that is able to charge my 15-inch MacBook Pro. Got an USB-C to USB-C cable for it from a random store in the mall for a reasonable price, since it had no Apple logos on the side of it.

Tradeoffs.

A "pro" machine shouldn't be making these types of compromises. My last two laptops (ThinkPad 13, Dell 7490) both have the ability to charge either with the built-in charging connector or USB-C.

How magnetic are the built-in charging connectors in the ThinkPad and Dell?
