There's also a 5-pack for a discounted $115 (from $250) and a 10-pack discounted at $215 (from $500). The cable's currently being sold on Indiegogo (Opens in a new tab) for a special discounted price of $24 (retail price is $50) with delivery in October.

Thankfully, the Bolt-S exists and it's affordable, too. MagSafe was the best, most underrated feature on MacBooks, and now that it's gone I really miss it. There's no going back after using the Bolt-S. It's not reversible like with MagSafe and not a deal-breaker at all, but something I hope to see improved in future versions. The trapezoid-shaped contacts in the cable portion of the Bolt-S must be properly oriented so that they align with the magnetic contact that's plugged into your MacBook's USB-C port. It has five tiny little contacts (two on top and three on top) inside of its plug. If there's only one thing that could be improved on the Bolt-S, it's the magnetic orientation. You could easily leave the magnetic plug connected and never take it off. Newer MacBook Pros with two or four USB-C ports are more convenient. My 2015 MacBook only has a single USB-C port so I did need to remove the Bolt-S a few times to plug in dongles. I've been using the 6.6-foot-long magnetic cable with my MacBook for about a week, and it's like Apple never removed the MagSafe at all. Otherwise, you'll see regular slow charging if you use a non-QC3.0 adapter.

It charges as fast as your power adapter allows, and Quick Charge gets you from zero to 80 percent in 35 minutes with a compatible power adapter. If your device has Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging capabilities, then the Bolt-S gets even better.
