Product Information

And by MagSafe, I mean the original MagSafe charging plug technology that Apple introduced in 2006 on the first MacBook Pro. On a slightly different topic, does anyone have experience of adaptors which provide a magnetic charger for USB-C? Equally gratifying was being able to grab a MacBook off the desk with the merest wiggle to detach it from power.

The only reason I can see for getting the adapters is that you want to be able to charge both MagSafe and USB-C laptops and carry only one charger. Overall I am very pleased with these and they make connecting my Macs to charge much easier, and when I want to grab a laptop and go somewhere else, it’s trivial and I don’t have to muck with USB-C (which tends to plug in quite firmly). Such a product can not exist: Apple has patented MagSafe technology and thus such a product would be illegal.All that said, after a few weeks of usage, Tonya and I are happy with the magnetic charging nubbins on both of our laptops. This (I hope) will allow me to get power from: (1) the commonly found PC USB C Power supplied ---> the USB C-Magsafe 1 cable plugged into my computer (2) . input to 5v for the initial output and will need a boost-converter to convert it to 20v after PD negotiation. It would have really changed my attitude toward Apple as a company had they done something to take responsibility for a poorly designed product.

I've bought 2 different 3rd party ones so far and the USB-C plugs don't fit into the laptop's ports as well as the Apple adapters do. at however much current is needed to meet the brick’s power rating (up to 85W, depending on the model). My new macbook comes with a 140W power adapter so my guess is I'd need an adapter at least 85W rated. The difference between MagSafe 1 and 2 was (as far as I know) only a change in the connector shape, which is why cheap passive adapters were possible. Such a product could exist if Apple manufactured it, or if Apple licensed the technology to a 3rd party.

This will allow you to simultaneously charge the battery, charge the computer’s battery and continue using the Macbook. Since this is a standard, more and more displays, power strips and third party chargers will be hitting the market since you initially bought your MacBook "One". Therefore, you can simply add a USB-C power adapter (plugged into the wall/mains) and run the cable alongside your Thunderbolt cable from the monitor. I don’t know what you see when you visit that site, Al, but I am shown is a four-page document that does nothing to explain why some unrelated persons (those of us here) could not comment on whether we trust any specific brand. Inspired by magnetic power connectors in deep fryers and Japanese countertop cooking appliances, MagSafe made it trivially easy to plug and unplug the power connector.
