Do you use MagSafe to charge your MacBook?

[Bungaree.Chubbins]

99% of the time my MacBook Pro is connected to power it is MagSafe. I have charged it with USB C, but not very often.

The light lets me know when charging has completed.

If you set the charge limit to 95%, the light on the MagSafe cable will never change from orange to green. There is effectively no indication the MagSafe cable that charging has completed when charge limit is set.

Going to use MagSafe in the living room for my MBP M5 Pro and USB-C with 160w charger at 240w cable in office and in bedroom. I like to have all bases covered.

This poll really needs an option for "both".

I suspect most use a mix of the two.

MagSafe is nice and preferred for my M4 Air. The 35W dual charger, while not the fastest, provides decent charge speed and the battery is very efficient so I usually only have to charge it once every 2-4 days depending on how much im using it. Thankfully my partner has a 70W USB-C for their windows laptop which I will borrow once in a while if I need to power up quick before leaving the house.

Not sure if it was meant to be used this much, but I only charge with the USB C. I think my mag safe charger is still in the box ... Oops.

Same I’ll sell my midnight cable lol

No. I have my M5 Pro MBP connected to a Thunderbolt 5 dock at home, and it charges from that. When I travel, I use a small travel charger and USB-C cable. I haven't even taken the Apple charger or MagSafe cable out of the box.

I've had a m1pro MacBook Pro since early 2022, and I've only used the Magsafe to charge it. Never tried charging via USB, not even once. No need...

Never - attach external display when charging is needed (or while using the additional screen real estate).
