I plan to have this on my night stand for now, with a charger that can also support a second USB-PD device (for say iPad usage while in bed).
Blinky - we all can afford it. It's just not reasonable for many of us. Do you just like burning money? Doesn't seem very intelligent.
If the user sees value in it the cost isn’t a big deal
my road bike is worth over $10k - im sure nobody here would find that practical.
In general, the more money people have, the tighter they are with it. Take a stroll around the 10, 11, 12, and 13 million dollar mansions in San Francisco...you won't see Ferraris or Lamborghinis, you'll see Toyotas and Volvos. My mom lives in St. Louis and is a volunteer docent for Emily Pulitzer's museum. She is a billionaire, and has wall-sized Monet paintings in her St. Louis pool house and Beethoven's original death mask on her coffee table, and she drives a semi-beat up Lexus. Look at the British royal family. Look at Gloria Vanderbilt. Blowing money is something the nouveaux riches and middle class do
You argued how anyone finds MagSafe more convenient than lightning. I just gave you a reason.
Huh.. That's strange.. We haven't had that issue.. Out of curiosity, what case are you using? Is the discoloration due to something you do? i.e. do you do work around dusty things that might make the case collect any sort of dirt or similar? Both the wife and I use leather cases -- blue and brown -- and we haven't seen that yet on either of our MagSafe pucks..
I think there's a big difference between people with money and people that are just stupid crazy rich. I worked hard for my money. It wasn't given to me by a trust, or from my parents. I've gone through periods of being poor too. But, I've worked my ass off and I make a ton of money running a successful real estate and loan brokerage. I don't ask for free handouts -- ever. I pay my way through life, I pay my taxes (all of them), I pay my employees correctly and well.
I work with people with money like that.. At least in California, they have fancy cars, nice houses, etc.. Fun fact, not everyone who has money spends their money the same way!
Like a dude a while back who reviewed an iMac, posing it on his BMW or whatever.
I'm not necessarily talking about you. Most of your posts look semi-civil. I don't know why you would think I'm "jelly" (who uses that word?) because I've pointed out how GAUCHE people are being. Most celebrities (I wouldn't classify you as one) demand things for free, it's old news. In fact, I doubt anyone truly rich would be on this website talking about minor accessories at all. I live in the most expensive city in the country and my rent is the same as 3 or 4 mortgages for most people. If you've ever spent any time in a boarding school, you would know that there is definitely a stereotypical rich. Also, there's no apostrophe in the plural of Volvo...you just add an s. But I challenge you today to seek out the most exclusive country club in your city and take a peak in the parking lot. You will see a lot of old, well-taken-care-of European cars.
He doesn't need magsafe he NEEDS a qi wireless charger. Magsafe isn't even truly wireless you have to physically remove it because it's a magnet and if you just yank it off it can end up flying around. A non magnet wireless chargers would suit his and most people needs better.
From what I can tell, it’s really not that big of a difference. If I were you, I would just stick with the 20 W.
No. It sounds like you've never used Qi on a daily basis.
Had this issue several times overnight with my belkin charger
This article isn't even about Magsafe but fine for those with Parkinsons I guess magsafe is a must then. Not sure how they've been charging their phones up until now but looks like they're are good now.
I was wondering about this too, but its not a deal breaker for me. My Nomad base charger was 7.5 watts so switching to the 20 watt adapter its still faster than my previous charger. Either way, I use it to charge overnight so nbd.
Exactly.
