Yeah, I think Jony Ive jumped the shark with the touchbar and eliminating ports. I dunno why they ditched MagSafe. The Worse parody of latter day Ive [1] was pretty spot on.

I really like this MacBook Pro but at $2000 I may wait for the next Air. I really don't need the Pro features, HDMI, SD card, that many GPUs, ..., and my 2017 Air is just fine for now.

I can only speculate, but my guess is they reasoned that all-day battery life would make MagSafe obsolete.

The intel series MBPs do not have all day battery life, though, they last 3-5 hours when being used for software development.
⬐ s17n
Yup. Ironically they're bringing back mag safe at the same time as moving to processors that might make the battery life dream real.
⬐ ashtonkem
I think the reason is dumber than that; removing MagSafe allowed the laptop to be more symmetrical and sleek. Ditto with SD readers and HDMI ports.
