> * No MagSafe
For my kid who uses a Chromebook right now, Magsafe would've been improvement in how often the power cable pulls the it off the desk.
But otherwise, this checks all the boxes, including applecare.

In case you didn't already know or haven't considered it, you can find right-angle usb-c MagSafe adaptors that basically allow the charging cable to disconnect from the device like MagSafe.
Most of these devices are a fire hazard. And in an environment where kids are needing magsafe, is probably the most dangerous for fire safety.

So true. Regarding those magnetic USB connectors: not just a fire hazard but also have a tendency to eventually burn out whatever is on the other end of them IME.
Maybe ok for giving power if you are careful I think, I never had any fires, knock on wood.
But it's a bummer to zap/kill the data-functionality of USB ports on nice stuff just because a non-spec connector was used in between the two things being connected, for convenience.
So I don't trust them except for conveniently connecting power to low-cost devices. Whether Neo fits that... I doubt but YMMV.
oh, probably not enough contact pressure. resistance is inversely proportional to contact pressure after all.
I am now nerd sniped on the surface physics of connectors. Thanks!
Any you could recommend that are safe?
