After years of making a big deal about the safety of the MagSafe power connector for the various models of MacBooks, Apple totally ignored the connector in the 12-inch MacBook design. That opened the slim laptop to being dragged to the floor if someone happened to trip over the power cord. Fortunately, Griffin Technology created the BreakSafe Magnetic USB-C Power Cable to bring back the safe breakaway capability, and you can get it for 12% off the usual price through the Apple World Today Deals Shop.
The BreakSafe is usually priced at $40, but AWT readers can pick it up for just $34.99 with free shipping. For anyone who owns the 12-inch MacBook, this is inexpensive insurance! But hurry, because this special price won’t last.
