Griffin Technology’s new BreakSafe Magnetic USB-C Power Cable saves you from flying MacBook syndrome

Apple touts its 12-inch MacBook (http://www.macworld.com/article/2908115/review-the-new-12-inch-macbook-is-a-laptop-without-an-ecosystem.html) as “the future of the notebook.” Curiously, it has a very retro power adapter that lacks a breakaway MagSafe power connector, like the one found in the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. So if you’re sitting in a coffee shop with the MacBook plugged in to a power outlet and someone trips over the power cable, there’s a very good chance your MacBook will go flying off your table.</p><p>
Fortunately, Griffin Technology just released a product to make sure that never happens. The BreakSafe Magnetic USB-C Power Cable (https://griffintechnology.com/us/breaksafe-magnetic-usb-type-c-cable) is a six-foot power cable that has a two-piece connector that plugs into the MacBook. The two pieces are connected magnetically, and if you yank on the cable, the connector breaks apart. No more flying MacBook.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3018996/hardware/griffin-technologys-new-breaksafe-magnetic-usb-c-power-cable-saves-you-from-flying-macbook-syndrome.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
