Please do not deface the retail packaging of the product as this may affect the resale value of the product and the value of your refund. It’s the best of both worlds — although, obviously, the USB-C cables don’t have the advantage of the MagSafe quick disconnect. The new MagSafe port has the familiar magnetic quick-release that Apple pioneered back in 2006 — preventing your laptop from being sent crashing to the floor if someone clumsily stumbles over your power cord. We combine hands-on testing, decades of experience and original photography to craft reports, reviews and guides.

This 2-metre charge cable features a magnetic MagSafe 3 connector that helps guide the plug to the charging port of your Mac notebook. According to Apple, an adapter with a higher wattage than that originally provided may be used without problems. Less heat means components can be closer together, so a charger can be smaller than ever before—while maintaining all the power capabilities and safety standards!Pair it with a compatible USB-C power adapter to conveniently charge your notebook from a power point and take advantage of fast-charging capabilities.

A decade later, Apple changed its mind and went all-in on USB-C, leading to some head-scratching; was the computers-falling issue not really a thing after all? We supply the latest technology solutions to organisations of all sizes across education, public and private sectors, helping thousands of organisations along their own digital transformation journeys.Apple does not license the MagSafe connector to third parties, but manufacturers have devised a workaround: their MagSafe-compatible products use the actual connector from Apple's AC adapter, grafted onto their own products. The Magsafe 3 connection is strong enough to resist most accidental disconnects, but will release the cable if someone trips on it, so your MacBook Pro stays safe. So, if you’re in the market for a cable that costs as much as a decent meal out but can save your precious MacBook from a disastrous fall, look no further.
