Apple needs to bring back MagSafe, stat.
The computer is powerful, but also sleek, thin, and quiet. The keyboard and trackpad have been redesigned to be less loud, and while it took some getting used to, I like the new design quite a lot.There's only one thing about this laptop I don't love — in fact, I kind of hate it. It's the USB-C cord that's needed to charge the computer.The 2017 MacBook Pro features two USB-C ports so you can charge your laptop, but still keep another device connected, like a hard drive or camera.
But the included USB-C cord is not very long, and won't break away if and when you trip over it. As a result, my laptop has fallen from my desk or couch on more than one occasion, causing a few minor moments of panic before checking to see nothing broke.The USB-C cord is also, right out of the box and by default, stiff and twisted in a way that I feel like isn't good for the cord, as you can see in the photo above.
It's weird that Apple abandoned a brilliant solution in favor of a regular USB-C cord. It's the one part of this computer that feels very un-Apple.YouTube/半額卿 For years, Mac laptops were fitted with Apple's MagSafe solution, an invention where the power cord would automatically detach when pulled or tripped over to prevent damage to the computer.
But Apple has been phasing out MagSafe recently. The last computer fitted with this magnetic power solution was the MacBook Air from 2017. Apple seems to be embracing USB-C — even last year's iPad Pro features USB-C instead of a Lightning port for the first time.
