Mag-Safe to USB C Adapter, USB C to Mag-Safe 1 & 2 Charging Connector Adapter Compatible for iPhone 15, M1/M2 MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13'', iPad with USB Type-C

This little device brings mighty power to my MacBook Pro M1 2020 from my 27" Thunderbolt Display. Since the power cable comes directly from the back of the monitor, this adapter eliminates the tangle of extra cables. Since this version of the MBP didn't have MagSafe charging, it has USB-C/TB, this device works wonders! There was a couple of times that it was not working very effectively, but I flipped the MagSafe back and forth, that maybe the prongs weren't as responsive. But after some tinkering, it wound up working great.

This worked great for about two weeks. Such a disappoint. Should have listened to the other reviews. It started getting super super hot and then it just stopped working without not getting hot. I wanted it to work but that is not the same thing as it actually working. Wanting does not equal functionality.

I use to connect my MacBook Pro 14" in clamshell mode to my older Apple Cinema LED Display. This plug converts the magsafe adapter to a USB C connection and maintains all usability in clamshell mode, enabling me to use my laptop as a desktop when at my office.

I was able to resuscitate an old Mac power supply.

I had attached my new Macbook Air M3 to an old, but in excellent condition Apple Thunderbolt display. After just a couple of days the adapter stopped working. Definitely heated up just as I read in other reviews. Super disappointed and wish there was another reliable option out there.

The product does what I need it to do. I had a Cinema Display sitting in the closest for a while and I started working from home more often. I decided to break it out and use it with my Dell Lattitude 5431 (work issued). The first thing I needed to do is find a dongle to get the display output. For those wondering, the USB-C that can be used for display output with a Dell dock does not work with the Cinema Display, at least one I bought didn't. A HDMI to minidisplay one worked though.As for this product. Well, it's a couple of small things. At first I didn't think it was working at all. I then discovered that the MagSafe was wasn't staying connected. I then discovered that the dongle wants it connected only one way. So while MagSafe is omni-directional this dongle is not. So, if you're having trouble with it staying connected flip the MagSafe connector and it should work a lot better. Next, the power output in the listing has me all confused but regardless of that the power output with my Dell Lattitude is quite terrible. When I use a 65w USB-C laptop charger I was getting "57 minutes complete until charge complete". With the dongle it was 2 hours and 57 minutes, meaning this thing is outputting 20w-25w. For the type of tasks I'm doing it's fine but if you expect your processor to be running full tilt for any lenght of time this dongle will not keep up. Last, and this one isn't the least problematic but I thought should be mentioned in the listing, the ports on the dongle (Type C PD and the the old USB-A) are power ONLY. They do not handle data. So, if you wante dto charge your smart phone and access the content only it, you're out of luckSo for me, it'll get the job done but the price for this does not justify the quality and its shortcomings.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I wanted to keep using exiting Magsafe 2 power cords with a newer Macbook, and add a USB-A port. Usb ports:USB-A port does not work with any device that I've tried: DVD player, mouse, or tablet. Functionality:Magsafe 2 adapter works most of the time. If someone trips over the cord, hopefully it will release.

I can connect my MacBookPro at my workbench, along with the usb-C connectors for a number of other electronic devices. Does not seem to overheat but I use only one item at a time.
