I'm going to try one; the magnetic disconnect has saved me several times over the past eight years, and I'd like to get another eight years out of my MacBook 2020, so I'm going to try to see how it goes. | |

These are cheaply made gimmicks that you’re plugging into a laptop priced at the higher end of the scale. Leaving this adapter plugged in is a sure way to break the port (in your laptop bag or backpack for instance). Yes, MagSafe was awesome, but it’s gone. We just have to roll with the changes. | |

Some users may have experience already and be able to share which features or aspects I should look out for for best results. | |
