I think the person you’re replying to meant MacBooks. They were USB-C exclusively way before Windows machines.

It's funny, I was mad at them for getting rid of magsafe for years, and super excited when they brought it back with the AS macs. Used the cable for a year or two and then decided to simplify my life but just using USB C for everything.

I hope they can forgive me for doubting their benevolent wisdom, I promise never to do it again.

    Same… I love MagSafe and would prefer to use it. I’m always worried about yanking the computer with the USB-C charger in and breaking the cable or the port.

    But I have a bunch of USB-C stuff and so when I go to charge my laptop it’s just easier to find that cable and use it.

      There are many magnetic USB C plugs. I am not sure if they are standard compliant but they work fine.

    Fist use of a Macbook Pro and in a sleep addled state I plugged the MagSafe cable into the Mac USB-C end first.

    It’s very confusing if you do that and are an idiot.

Ah ok, yeah sure, that was nice (could have added an A and HDMI port in this case, but ok, they were early with that.)
