Magnetic cable for MBAir 2015?

[Giuanniello]

Just wondering if there exists a magnetic cable for MacBookAir 2015 since the original one is breaking and I could use a USB3 charger with such cable to power up the MBAir.

Any clue?

Grazie

you want a Magsafe 2 connector.

you can still buy the original adapter from apple, and other authorized retailers

or they also make USB-C to Magsafe 2 adapter. Not from apple, so no guarantees it will work, but reviews seem favorable.

You can also find used 45W Apple Power adapters on eBay and other used market sites for considerably less than the cost of new from Apple.

I upgraded to a recent MacBook and wondering if I could use the same power adapter also for the old Air by just buying a USB-C to MagSafe 2 cable if something like that exists, any clue?

Yes, they exist. Simply search Google or Amazon. Caveat Emptor. They tend to overheat and eventually fail.

Oh, I see, is it then better to buy one of those adapters from USB-C to MagSafe 2?
