> Neat site. One more angle I didn't think about until recently was buying a USB-C cable that was magnetic/breakaway to minimize port wear on a laptop that only has one usb c/thunderbolt. This is a horrific idea if you care about your devices; they can detach and become misaligned, applying Vbus to pins that are definitely not capable of handling 20 V. |

Maybe there’s a MagSafe to Thunderbolt adapter that is a bit safer. Seems reasonable enough

In terms of caring about my devices it’s the other way around. While I’m gentle, Apple stopped caring about longevity for the latest and most thinnest. Maybe the current gen will finally outdo the peak of 2014 MBP.
After a number of laptops, it starts to feel like you’re buying another premature death of a new laptop instead of a new laptop.
Have hopes for the new series. Maybe in a year or two.
