Unfortunately, on their latest MacBook, Apple has removed one of the more unique features of the range and has now replaced the magnetic power connection with a plug-in USB-C connector.
The magnetic power connector was useful in that it would easily disconnect from your expensive laptop if the power cable became caught or snagged by a passerby. This feature saved your laptop from any damage as it was pulled from your desktop onto the floor.
The Importance of Magnetic Connections
Magnetic connections have been a beloved feature for many laptop users due to their convenience and safety. The magnetic power connector, often referred to as MagSafe, was introduced by Apple in 2006 and quickly became a favorite among MacBook users. The design was simple yet effective: a magnetic tip that would snap into place when brought close to the laptop’s charging port. This not only made connecting the charger easier but also provided a quick-release mechanism that prevented accidents.
For instance, if someone tripped over the power cord, the magnetic connection would detach, preventing the laptop from being pulled off a table or desk. This feature was particularly useful in busy environments like coffee shops, libraries, and offices where such accidents are more likely to occur. The removal of this feature in favor of a USB-C connector has left many users longing for the safety and convenience that MagSafe provided.
Introducing the EWO MACNETO
One company is now looking to correct this and has released a new magnetic cable connection kit called the EWO MACNETO. The new magnetic connection kit allows you to connect a wide variety of different connections using a magnetic connection.
The kit currently supports iOS, micro USB, mini USB, USB type-C connections, and Type-A. This versatility makes it an excellent solution for users who have multiple devices with different charging ports. Whether you need to charge your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, the EWO MACNETO has you covered.
