>Also, some of those magnetic USB charging cables to keep them charged without fiddling with plugging in cables.
I've had MacBooks for two decades. Until my recent purchase of an Apple Silicon model, they all used proprietary power connections (first barrel, then MagSafe) on one side of the computer. Since I needed a power supply in two different places, this always meant obtaining a second Apple charger.
My current MacBook is the first I've owned that also allows charging from any USB-C port. For the first time, I can
* use a small USB charger I already owned (A 27W unit in my case. Yes, the computer does charge under use, albeit slower than with the Apple charger)
* charge on the opposite side of where the Apple charger goes (which is very useful for my aforementioned multiple-location usage pattern)
* still have an auto-detachable connection by, like you, using a magnetic USB connection (<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BCJVL7CD/> is what I use)
