@starkatt while searching for one for our laptop i did come across the fact that apple did patent a magnetic connector but the patent is fairly specific to magnetic ones, and there are non-magnetic methods of having breakaway connectors. I think apple's might even be more specific than that snce there are usb-C magnetic breakaways on the market--but our laptop can't charge over usb-c
