Perhaps the new MacBook Pro supports USB-C charging AND wireless charging? MagSafe in this context could be referring to wireless charging. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagSafe
The quote from Kuo specifically mentions MagSafe charging connector design, but he could have mistakenly assumed his source was still referring to the wired connector if they mentioned MagSafe.
Curious about changes to I/O ports. I would expect additional (more than two) USB-C ports, but unsure which I/O types may be considered a "standard" need for pro users at this point. Perhaps video output and/or legacy USB?
The touch bar is visually appealing and likely great for most consumers, but the bar has not been as functional as physical function keys during my time touch-typing/ programming due to lack of tactile feedback. I frequently have to look at the bar, else I tap the wrong button. I often trigger the bar unintentionally while hovering over number keys. I am thankful the M1 Pro has an Escape key. I would be very likely to upgrade to a higher end MacBook Pro to have physical function keys again.
I use solar power. Also, in nearby San Jose, California, they have banned NG in all new construction except commercial or multi family residences taller than 3 stories.
Sounds about right. I have had overall VERY GOOD Amazon Warehouse experiences, but I have also had TWO VERY TERRIBLE Amazon Warehouse experiences with two separate products that could have been avoided if items were actually "Inspected"...
Hue Outdoor Motion Sensors (May 2019) -- Several sensors in my first order had obvious water damage outside packaging and MOLD inside packaging. Just looking at packages during "Inspection" would have prevented this. Requested replacements. Received MORE water damage and MOLD. Repeat several times until finally received NON-MOLD items or for refund.
GE Smart Light Switch, Smart Fan Switch (Feb 2020) -- Ordered several of each, kept receiving wrong model (e.g. ZigBee instead of ZWave Plus, or ZWave instead of ZWave plus) as if prior customer gave up on large project and randomly threw products back into whatever boxes. Comparing product number on item to product number on box during "Inspection" would have prevented this! Kept requesting replacements, kept receiving wrong items. Finally returned items for a refund. Amazon CS did finally issue full refund, but had trouble unraveling the mess on their end because so many items were in play.
