Please, please, please: we NEED a magsafe version of USB C

Yes, you can buy adapters, but you end up w/device warts that don't work w/normal USB-C cords and my understanding that they are for the most part pretty dangerously out of spec

Magnetic coupling is an incredibly underutilized user experience tool

As much as it still pisses me off reading the Surface product head's comment that if you love USB-C then you love dongles -- while shipping a Mini DisplayPort connector -- I also think it's a waste that they didn't contribute their magnetic docking to the upstream spec.

We could have had a USB Type-M. (Or, alternatively, Type-F -- for "magnets, how do they work?")
