finally a replacement for your MagSafe
0:02
connector let's check this out Dave tail
0:12
here and if you're like me you have a
0:13
new MacBook from Apple and you're
0:16
frustrated that you gained all these
0:18
cool new features but you lost the
0:20
MagSafe connector what a great idea to
0:23
have a magnetic power line so that if
0:26
someone knocks the cord your computer
0:28
doesn't take a tumble for reasons I
0:30
can't explain Apple stepped away from
0:32
that but VIN talk has you covered this
0:35
is the vin POC bolt and I can
0:38
demonstrate very easily what makes this
0:40
really cool tiny little tip magnetic
0:44
connector plug it into your computer and
0:46
lo and behold I'm charging and not only
0:50
that but the bolt actually supports the
0:53
full 87 watt charging as you can see in
0:56
this diagnostic screen here now what
0:59
this does is it also supports QC 3.0
1:02
which is the quick charge system so if
1:04
you don't have a macbook it's still
1:06
gonna be really beneficial but it's all
1:09
about the demonstration right so plugged
1:11
in and charging and now it's not plugged
1:13
in and it's a magnet so it plugs right
1:17
back in super easy this is just exactly
1:19
what should have been here forever
1:21
now to be fair it does stick out a
1:24
little bit well let the cord drop and
1:26
you can see there's a little bump here
1:28
but it's so minor that it's easy to
1:32
actually tote your computer around and
1:34
just leave that in forever you can also
1:36
pick up spare tips but we'll come back
1:39
to the price in just a second so the
1:41
cable comes in black or silver and when
1:44
you buy it it comes with a carrying case
1:46
that you can put it in honestly whatever
1:49
I don't actually use those sort of
1:51
things so I don't really care if it
1:52
included that but the cable and the
1:54
little tip super handy and the fact that
1:57
it works really well and it's the same
1:59
length as a standard USB C charging
2:01
cable you get from Apple now this
2:04
campaign originally started out on
2:06
IndieGoGo and they've just like blew
2:08
through the ceiling they raised two
2:10
hundred and twelve thousand dollars and
2:12
their original target was like $10,000
2:14
now the downside is that they haven't
2:17
quite shifted into a full commercial
2:19
mode so if you go to IndieGoGo and you
2:21
search for VIN Pok bolt then you can
2:24
still get involved through that but I'm
2:27
not sure you can get it off their
2:28
website I check it out that's gonna
2:29
change pretty quickly now one thing left
2:33
to talk about is the price but before we
2:35
get there let me ask you go ahead and
2:37
click on that subscribe button I really
2:39
appreciate it now price so if you want
2:43
to just get a spare tip because you're
2:45
probably going to lose that let's just
2:47
own that so the tip by itself is 13
2:50
bucks and the cable and tip and handy
2:53
carrying case that flew off our screen
2:55
go figure all of that runs 35 bucks and
2:58
if you buy two or three of them you can
3:00
actually get the price a little lower
3:01
thirty-five dollars is a little high for
3:04
a charging cable but on the other hand
3:06
it brings back MagSafe and that's really
3:09
nice particularly if you use your device
3:11
in busy environments like maybe an
3:14
airport coffee shop you do not want to
3:16
be getting up to get a refill on your
3:18
coffee just to find out that someone
3:20
knocked your darn computer off the
3:21
ground or onto the ground right that
3:23
would be bad so I'm a huge fan this is
3:27
really great I backed them on IndieGoGo
3:29
and I was very excited to get this in
3:30
the mail this is the vin POC bolt you
3:34
can learn more and check it out at vin
3:36
POC com this is Dave Taylor I'm going
3:38
back to charging and I'll catch you in
