One of the most mellow - profile novel features added to this year’sMacBook Pro modelswas MagSafe 3 , a new version of the magnetized power connecter that Apple controversially binned a few years ago .
However , not all MacBook Pro possessor are well-chosen with MagSafe 3 .
Some have complained that the magnetic connecter is too strong , and that the ability cable attaches itself more unwaveringly than was the case with previous versions of MagSafe . This removes the main purpose of the connection : if someone accidentally spark over the cable , it ’s supposed to detach itself to make certain the Mac does n’t hit the story .
The Apple news siteCult of Macquotes a number of disgruntled users , including one individual onReddit(a user make Draftstone ) who says they can elevate their MacBook Pro up by the charging cablegram .
“ I can lift my whole 14 in MacBook from the table , fully in the strain , by curb the connector , ” the substance abuser writes . “ It can hold the full weight of the MacBook and I can lift it in the air without issue when pull on it straight .
“ If your MacBook is punch via MagSafe , be good around the cable . If you ( or your wiener ) gets tangled in the cable , it will pull your MacBook on the trading floor . ”
Draftstone does concede that MagSafe sometimes detaches itself with the applications programme of relatively little pressure , but only when it ’s applied at sure angles : “ when pulling upward or down ( like breaking a chocolate Browning automatic rifle ) ” .
Another exploiter , call oatmeal1977 , thinks Apple should have call the connective “ MagUnsafe ” .
Whether Apple will heed the unfavorable judgment and exchange the excogitation or even revert to the old variation in the next MacBook Pro upgrade remains to be seen .
