Macbook USB Type-C to MagSafe Converter

"MagSafe Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector that ensures your power cable will disconnect from undue strain and helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time."


When I purchased my fir Macbook Air, I thought of the MagSafe is very ingenious.  I always fear to rip off my cable or worse pulling my laptop to the floor if I or anybody accidentally trip on the cord.  Magsafe has a pretty strong magnet to keep it attached to charge your Macbook yet can easily disengage when tugged.



When I upgraded to a Type-C Macbook, I miss having the MagSafe.  This Type-C to MagSafe converter just brings back the Magsafe to the Macbook.  It works outright and just like the original MagSafe, it has a pretty strong magnet.  

You can connect the cord either running towards the back or runs on the side of the laptop to the front.  You will see an LED when it is charging.  For me, the most important thing is that it does its job protecting my notebook.



Cons: 
a) This gadget is composed of 2 parts.  One attached to the cord and the other one connects to your laptop.  Sometimes the part that attaches to the laptop gets pulled with the cord.  
b) Your Macbook will have a small knob (around 0.2 inch) protruding on the side of your laptop. 


Some Interesting facts:
  • MagSafe was introduced on January 10, 2006. 
  • It has connector pins that are designed so the rectangular connector can be inserted in either orientation 
  • The outer large pins are grounds.
