You'd wonder if pogue (who I usually like a lot) tested multiple units or just one. For a mechanical critique, its probably worth testing multiple units. Although with apples supply chain maybe Im totally off here


I don't know, most people are only going to buy one, so if random units are bad... that's not really much better than if only some units are bad.


Actually, that's much better because it means it's simply a quality control issue and it's thus something someone can have fixed by simply exchanging it for another (verified correct) unit.

If it is just a quality control issue, that's still sad/problematic, but it's better than a design flaw.


I have a MBPR and the connector stays in very well. I just tried "brushing" it and my laptop moved against the pressure. I'm guessing pogue generalized this issue and only has a sample of 1 (his MBA). NYT strikes again..


I'll vouch for the issue with a new MBA. I have two magsafe 2 adapters and they both exhibit this issue.


Apparently the magnet is in the laptop, so your same size is still just one, even with two adapters
