Not to mention the thieving jerks charge $90 for a replacement. Mine seem to last 18 months at most.

Even if they insist on keeping their incredibly fragile cords, they could make them user swappable -- just like the wall end -- and sell replacements for $10.

You know the replacements would be $29 for a 1 foot option and $49 for a 5 foot option. :)
you mean like usb-c?
Yeah, but I still want the magnetic charger break-away. That saves my laptop at least once every 6 months.
