It doesn't have an elbow shaped connector the way the MagSafe was on my older MacBook Pro, but the straight cable style doesn't usually get in the way when I've got my Mac sitting on my lap. It has a strong magnetic pull but breaks away very easily. It's indistinguishable from Apple's official USB-C cord. Vinpok sent me a sample of an early model of the Bolt-S and I can say that I'm impressed by the charging speed. You'll need to return to your Apple USB-C cable if you want to do any data transfer. The Bolt-S may have fast charging capabilities for the MacBook Pro, but it does not support data transferring. The thing that makes the Bolt-S stand out from the others is that it is one of the first, if not the actual first, to hit the market with support for 87w charging, which is the wattage that Apple's 20 MacBook Pro power adapter use. There are actually quite a few either already on sale, or on their way to public launch in the near future. ![]() It isn't the first MagSafe-style USB-C connector on the market. Vinpok hopes to fix this gross oversight with the Bolt-S.
