The fact that external companies are making hardware that Apple used to make is so sad. Losing Magsafe is a real step back, and demoing LG TV's?
It's an opportunity for the market if Apple are slacking though, and this looks like a timely product 👌

The MagSafe charger has saved my laptop from falling off my standing desk* many times. If I somehow inherit a small fortune and buy the new MBP, I will likely get this as quasi insurance.

Too bad it caps at 60W charging when the new MBP 15" is 87W :( Don't get me wrong - still a great product, but you have to give up charging speed for the added safety MagSafe brings.

Apple have clearly put a priority on USB C with their new selection of MBP's. I have seen some people complaining about price with this. I have to say, with a replacement MagSafe costing £65, this actually seems like a win win. Cheaper replacement cables, and much faster charging with USB C port.

Wouldn't it be wonderfully ironic if this got more votes than the new Macbook Pro. :-)
