Re: Worst Apple product or accesory? - Robert M - 05-07-2015
N-OS,
I'm amazed at how some people manhandle cables and such that are being connected to or disconnected from a device. Doesn't matter if it's an expensive device or a cheap device. People often grab the cable and tug or push at it without checking to see if they're evening connecting it properly.
I like the magsafe connector for this reason. Definitely nicer than standard power connectors. But, I also prefer the T-design of the mag safe connector because it works better with the shell I have on my office's Macbook Pro and my personal Macbook Pro. With the shell on the computer, the L-design model has to be connected backwards and always covers one of the ports.

I have a shell on my MBP and the L-design adapter model and I have never experienced that problem.

N-OS,
I can use it in either direction but the connection is better when the cord faces the front of the computer. If the cord faces the back, the connecton isn't quite as solid. Still works but it bugs me because it isn't quite right.

I didn't think the switch from MS1 to MS2 would be a big deal, but I have found that the MS2 connector's battery is really weak, and it disconnects at the slightest provocation/movement. The MS1 was much more effective.

I'm gonna assume you meant "magnet" instead of "battery"...
