The new MacBook Pro has finally be unveiled at an Apple event after months of waiting. The new design is courageous to say the least, removing all of the previous model’s ports in favour of USB-C ports. (Ironically, the headphone jack is the lone survivor.)<\/p>\n

With only two or four USB-C ports available depending on model, you’ll be relying on dongles and other accessories to regain the connectivity of the previous models. Here are five accessories to help you do just that — as well as keep your shiny new computer in good condition!<\/p>\n

5. Griffin BreakSafe Magnetic USB-C Power Cable<\/h3>\n

\"Griffin<\/a><\/p>\n

This awesome power cable is the best replacement for Apple’s old MagSafe power adapter, which isn’t available on the new MacBook Pros. Simply plug one end into the USB-C mains adapter that comes with the laptop, and the other into your laptop. When it’s time to unplug (or someone walks into\u00a0your power cable), the cable will gracefully detach without yanking your laptop to the floor. You can leave the little adapter plugged into your laptop, or take it out each time. It’s not quite as convenient as the original Apple solution, but it’s way better than going back to non-magnetic solution!<\/p>\n

Note that this adapter won’t work for the 15-inch MacBook Pro, which requires additional power!<\/em><\/p>\n
