I think I want one since my 2020 MBP M1 doesn't have MagSafe but I don't want to block my other USB-C port, they could've put them a bit further apart.

This article is 2 years old so they may be better ones available and I'm open the suggestions.

10 Best MagSafe (Magnetic) USB-C Adapters for MacBooks & iPads

I tested a number of them. Not great, either they block ports or get very warm to the touch, and had issues with full power delivery. That was with a 15" MacBook Pro, and an 87W adapter. I'd be concerned with 96W or 140W for sure on later models.

Thanks Jamie. I appreciate the info. Guess I'll need to do some more research. My power supply I believe is 61W.

I've been standing up for you folks on Facebook.

It appears the many of the ones in the article aren't even available anymore.

Thanks - and no surprised many went away after a single production.

I don't find these types of articles useful because they're just regurgitating the specs to you. They haven't actually tested any of them to see if they really work and what the pros/cons of each are.

They are at the root just Amazon affiliate link farms. I stick to known names like wirecutter. I mean, they farm affiliate links, too, but at least they actually try the stuff.

This is the one I've had saved in my Amazon cart for awhile, I can't remember where I read that it was a recommended one FWIW

Tried it. Returned it. Got a "Oh we're sorry, can we send you another from our current production". It didn't work well either.

The comment at the bottom of that article addressed the issue.

These 'Best' lists are more often than not merely a collection of advertising grouped in increments of ten.

Whoopde-fsckn-do.

They seldom discuss attributes that make them better let alone why they're the best.

And the vast majority of these some to have zero hands-on, and don't even think about any actual testing.

Most of these Not Really 10 Best lists are from no account sites like this mashtips— sites one has never heard of and never visits again.

But 'big name' sites have done this from time to time as well, often attributed to a slow news day.

The real issue is the fact this is a popular practice, frequently hawking cheap, inferior products.

It's all about clicks and Benjamins.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

This is the one I have been using with my M1 MBA for the last year with no problem. It works well with just a couple of observations - The magnet is not as strong as the magsafe from my older MBA; it does not change from amber to green, it can block the second port. That said, I can recommend it.

We've used that one as well, but we were using it connected to a Thunderbolt hub on a Window's laptop. It eventually became problematic as a TB connection so we stopped using it. I should find it and give it another try just for charging.
