Apple brought back the mag charger.

I wish it still had the SD reader and one A port, but it doesn’t really come up that often. Just 3D printing and only because I’m too lazy to set up a octoprint server or whatever.

Ahh that’s nice, I bought the 2015 right after the Touch Bar pros went in sale because of the “you only need USB c now” ethos.

I later inherited a Touch Bar MacBook Pro, and it has frequent charging problems with USB C.

It’s gonna be time for an upgrade in a couple more years, and it’s nice to know that the new MBPs are sane again.
