85W Magsafe 2 power adapter disconnects too easily - wowzer - 01-30-2014

The magnet charger seems to disconnect so easily from my macbook pro. If you move the laptop just even a little bit, the power disconnects. I am concerned that each time, I need to reconnect, causing another power cycle on the battery. Is there an adapter that I could buy to change the connector? I was hoping to find an adapter that will switch the T to and L shape, like the older magsafe connector.

I also have the older magsafe power with an L shaped attachment for my Macbook (cord 2 duo) and it stays on the laptop much better than this 85W power supply.

Seems to help with both my MBPR and my son's MBA.

You get two with each purchase.

I agree, the new design disconnects too easily. I much prefer the previous generation.
