If someone is that concerned, Amazon is full of magnetic breakaway adapters for USB-C, bringing MagSafe into the USB-C era. I also mentioned the Surface, which uses a MagSafe-like connector.


I had noted those magnetic connectors over at AliExpress, e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Micro-USB-Magnetic-Cable-Qui...

Any cons to using them like MagSafe?


Yeah, but they don't really seem to work well at all. A friend of mine who works in IT bought a bunch of these to test for work laptops, according to him they are all basically crap, with maybe one or two half decent. And they don't have the handy charging light indicator either, like on the old magsafe.


Sadly, none of them are any good. :( Read the reviews for details.
