Usually bring to mind the imperfect technology and gadgets is the prerogative of Apple's, but this time the company is perhaps the first time, it was on the other side of the barricades.

Still, the device is quite easy, and, inadvertently catching charging cable, you can send it in flight, the consequences of which will not like either the laptop or its owner.
Solving the problem came from not waiting (or, conversely, waited?) - from third-party manufacturers. At CES 2016 a well-known manufacturer of accessories Griffin presented the cable (on a MacBook charging it removable) with a connector
USB-CConsisting of two halves: one is inserted into the laptop, and the second prischolkivaetsya to it with a magnet and remains on the cable itself. Slightly modified, but the same, familiar MagSafe. It works on the same principle.Novelty was BreakSafe name and will be available in April for $ 40. Plain-foot USB-C from Apple costs $ 29, so the price is more than fair.
In addition, Grifin eliminated another "school» Apple and showed wireless charging for the Apple Watch. Watch as a laptop, too, should be charged at least once a day, however, the official accessories allow to do so only a fixed manner, which is quite inconvenient for active people who are not sitting on the spot.
