I’ve got a zillion of them that I’ve used over the last 5 or 6 years for lower power devices (micro USB, USB-C and Lighting), but went with a different USB-C magnetic tip for the laptop because the ones I’d standardized on for everything else wouldn’t support high voltage charging:</div><div><br class=""></div><div><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0831KYRD2" class="">https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0831KYRD2</a></div><div><br class=""></div><div>They’re (supposedly) rated for 100W, and I’ve certainly not had problems charging my laptop at full rate (85W) with them. The right-angle design also seems to work better for power cables.
