Why Microsoft's Surface Connect is better than Apple's MagSafe

We are all familiar with MagSafe on MacBooks. On MacBooks, the MagSafe port is only for charging and does not serve any other purpose. Although the charging speed is decent, its main selling point is that the cable magnetically attaches to the MacBook which provides protection in the circumstances when the cable is unintentionally pulled.

Like most things Apple makes, it is beautifully designed and works well. It seems, as Apple users, we were content to accept whatever Apple gives us.

During my "Without Apple" experiment, I used the Surface Pro as my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro replacement. Microsoft has its own take on MagSafe and therefore, the Surface Pro 11 comes with a Surface Connect port as shown in the image below.
