It’s one of the features that even the most die-hard opponents of Macs tend to grudgingly admit is a good idea. The magnetic power cord attaches securely and detaches cleanly. Also had battery replaced in March 2018 for failure within healthy cycle count. This will be a bit of an essay so bear with me Background Bought in September 2012, had logic board and GPU replaced under Apple Repair scheme due to faulty graphics.
