[Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-pro-cable) has begun to do away with the MagSafe charger design, but the 'MagC' USB-C Thunderbolt 3 Converter is intended to help users who love it with the ability to port it to their new laptop.

The converter works by having your USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 cord attached to an adapter dongle that features a magnetic design that connects to a final attachment that sits inside your laptop. This means that you'll be able to keep the [MagSafe design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creator-beauty) and all the benefits it offers on your new [MacBook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aohi-magcube), laptop or smartphone.

The 'MagC' USB-C Thunderbolt 3 Converter is small in design and capable of being implemented into your computing accessory profile without causing any unsightly changes.
