its funny i stopped caring about magsafe after a while and realized that i prefer the flexibility of being able to plug usb-c in on both sides of the computer so i just... use usb-c everywhere now

oh for sure, it's great that you can do both. but on my old laptop with 2!! usbc and nothing else, I often had to choose between charging, my monitor, or doing dev work on a device

ahh yeah. also everything i have that i use daily is usb-c now so it makes even more sense to have as many usb-c chargers lying around the house as possible any nothing else

They should have never removed the MagSafe from MB. It was truly the dark ages of computing.

Feb. 28 National boycott of ALL BUSINESSES needs to happen, especially if a company like Tesla PAID ZERO FEDERAL TAXES IN 2022 AND 2024 after getting billions in profits!! Wake up America!!

Im surprised they don't force you to buy a $250 adapter with a recurring monthly subscription to use it.

What about the headphone socket half way down the side? I can't work out if it's better or worse yet...

Do you connect to external monitors at all? I find my MBP has flickering problems when I connect via HDMI or USB->DisplayPort cables. It's driving me crazy! According to Reddit, other people have similar issues too. 😔 Argh; infuriating! If anyone has any advice on how to fix, please help!! 🙏

I think my sibs had this problem and fixed it by using a usb c lightning cable and hdmi adaptor instead of a basic usb c cable. They’re pricier (do not get apples or was like 60! You can probably find a good quality anker or belkin one for half that).

Only 3 usb c ports on my current macbook and one is perma taken up by a yubikey 😢 can't wait to get an upgrade and have magsafe as charging again instead of taking another port
