Best USB C MagSafe? UCord MagThunder adapter test

MagSafe, this old MacBook magnetic charging design is something that combined creativity and functionality. MagSafe not only makes charging easier, but also prevent your computer get damaged from accidental drag or pull.

Because of the powerful USB Type C, apple removed MagSafe on their following Macbook products. However, for something like MagSafe, you are gonna fall in love with it once you have tried. So, many factory start making magnetic USB C adapters just look like MagSafe. But as for the performance, it is awkward. Commonly a magnetic adapter on the market has about 12V charging capacity and USB 2.0 standard data transfer. It is far from the capacity of a thunderbolt 3 USB C port on a Macbook Pro.

Today I want to introduce you UCord MagThunder. It support 40Gbps date transfer, 100W charging capacity and maximum 8k video transmission. It turns your thunderbolts 3 USB C port to MagSafe and keeps the thunderbolt 3 standard capacity.
