Magsafe 2 to USB C converter

Will Apple be making a Magsafe 2 to USB C converter? Is anyone aware of a third-party option?

I recently got a Macbook Pro 15" (late 2016) and am furious at the extra expense of adapters needed to incorporate this machine into my setup (USB to USB-C, USB-C Digital AV multiport, HDMI cables, USB hub...). Now I need a second power adapter, and given that I have several Magsafe power adapters lying around I'd prefer to use a converter stead of buying a new USB-C power adapter.

It's sneaky of Apple to not include needed adapters with the machine. What should have been a pleasant quick-start has become a nightmare of unexpected purchasing and stalled setup.

You mean this:

Not quite, though it's interesting to know about new magsafe adapter options. I'm seeking a converter that would allow use of my existing magsafe adapters on my new Macbook Pro which only has USB-C ports.

Wish this worked well and wasn't showing as "unavailable": https://www.amazon.com/HIOTECH-MagSafe-Adapter-Converter-Macbook/dp/B0167WMHP0/r ef=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1484677350&sr=8-2&…

I wish it did too. Hopefully there is a working third party solution in the near future!

I agree! This is really sneaky and unfriendly to Apple customers. One of several similar things that disappoints me about the new Macbook Pro and makes me think "this will be my last Apple notebook".

Apple claims to be an environmentally friendly company but they just turned my old power adapters into plastic trash.

Hey @sonicray does that just turn the usbc adapter in to a magsafe-like adapter, or does that adapt magsafe 2 to usbc?

I am also looking for the same to use at my job as we need to have a lot of chargers plugged in at once to support multiple users simultaneously. I am trying to avoid having another set of chargers, would be nice to have an adapter to go from Magsafe 2 to USB-C or vise versa.

I am still looking... if anyone finds something please post!

@cebadin thats pretty close! We need something like that but just for Magsafe 2 and that will support up 85watts.

I do have the same situation specially when you want to connect your external apple display into your macbook new 15 inch line with USB-C !

How can I use the same expensive external monitor to power my macbook if the connection already adapted to magsafe2 cannot be converted into USB-C ? I just simply lost its functionality ?

Pretty frustrating ! Apple is wonderful. However, it should be much more worried in launching a number of itens that covers our needs at the same time they do with the new macbooks.

This is really important... otherwise we wait for months and months for an option and sometimes not a safe and ideal option !

Tks

Here is a new option:

It looks good, but still not a MagSafe 2 to USBC charging solution. I wonder if anything will transpire seeing as the highest watt was 85W with the previous chargers, and it's 87W with the new ones.

Hi,

I am also trying to find a solution to REUSE my  (now extra) macbook pro magsafe chargers, for my NEW macbook pro (USB-C charging).

The MagNeo looks like a cool product, but no where do I see this adapter being able to reuse legacy MB Magsafe chargers. No one wants to buy spare chargers (office, home, travel) when they already have a couple from previous generations. Just simply need a magsafe connector to usb-C connector dongle

Maybe??

The "copies" of the MagSafe-side all look to be kickstarter campaigns at this writing.

They will need to obtain licenses to use Apple MagSafe technology to be successful -- otherwise they will be precluded from bringing their products to market, and the product development will be wasted effort.
