The new one is also much more useful, because it charges any arbitrary USB device: smartphones, tablets, visitors’ PC laptops, miscellaneous small gadgets, ...

Also, if the USB-C cord frays or breaks, it is replaceable.

I’m a bit sad about the loss of the magnetic connector, but overall I much prefer the new chargers.

I still wish someone would get around to putting 2–3 USB-C ports in a power strip which were capable of charging laptops though.
