I just learned that I can charge my M1 MBP via USBC instead of the magsafe port

another option is if you have a powerbank with a PD port, you can charge from it, or charge in a vehcle if your car charger has a PD port.

I've done this with my M3 MBA a couple of times, mainly for proof of concept, thought it seem obvious it could be done.
I prefer MagSafe as I'm a sucker for LEDs and I like the external charge indication, and it keeps a USB-C port free. There are a couple of passive docks in the box should I need a Type A port or card slot. So for me using a USB-C port for power/charging is a backup. In my experience, Apple hasn't done well with power cords over the years, so having a removable cord that can be replaced by a now ubiquitous USB-C cable is a huge plus.

I recently bought an open box M3 MBP and it comes with a braided USB-C to MagSafe cord. I am hoping that stands up better than the plastic sheathing on previous Apple power cables. At least it plugs into an USB-C port on the power adapter, so that will make it easier to replace than the original MagSafe power adapters for past Intel MBPs.

What the gabester said. Exactly.
(tu) (tu) for Magsafe. ![]() ==

For me, it means that when I travel, I can carry just one cord to charge both my MBP and my iPhone-less stuff to carry.
Note that the MagSafe cord can charge more quickly than the USB.

USBC is the only way to charge our MBAs.
